Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster using the native Azure provider

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

$ git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
$ git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set azure-go-aks-managed-identity
$ cd pulumi-examples/azure-go-aks-managed-identity

This example deploys an AKS cluster, creates an Azure User Assigned Managed Identity, and sets credentials to manage access to the cluster.

Prerequisites#

1. Install Pulumi
2. Configure Azure credentials
3. Install Go

Deploying the example#

1. Create a new stack, which is an isolated deployment target for this example:

   pulumi stack init dev

2. Set the Azure region location to use:

   pulumi config set azure-native:location westus2

3. Install dependencies:

   go mod download

4. Stand up the cluster by running pulumi up:

   pulumi up

5. After 3-4 minutes, your cluster will be ready, and the kubeconfig YAML you’ll use to connect to the cluster will be available as an Output. You can save this kubeconfig to a file like so:

   pulumi stack output kubeconfig --show-secrets > kubeconfig.yaml

   Once you have this file in hand, you can interact with your new cluster as usual via kubectl:

   KUBECONFIG=./kubeconfig.yaml kubectl get nodes

6. From there, feel free to experiment. Simply making edits and running pulumi up will incrementally update your stack.

Cleaning up#

Once you’ve finished experimenting, tear down your stack’s resources by destroying and removing it:

pulumi destroy
pulumi stack rm
