This repository contains my personal Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster configuration and deployment infrastructure. It serves as a comprehensive example of deploying and managing AKS clusters using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform and Bicep.

This project demonstrates:

• AKS Cluster Deployment: Automated deployment of Azure Kubernetes Service clusters
• Infrastructure as Code: Using Terraform modules for reproducible infrastructure
• Monitoring & Observability: Integration with Azure Monitor, Grafana, and Prometheus
• Container Registry: Azure Container Registry (ACR) integration
• Sample Applications: Demo applications showcasing AKS capabilities including Dapr integration
• Security & Compliance: Azure Policy integration and security best practices

• aks-automatic-deployment/ - Terraform configuration for AKS Automatic cluster deployment
• cluster-deployment/ - Standard AKS cluster deployment configurations
• github-deployment/ - GitHub Actions and CI/CD related configurations
• modules/ - Reusable Terraform modules for various Azure resources
• apps/ - Sample applications and Kubernetes manifests
  • radius-dapr-demo/ - Demo application showcasing Dapr and Radius integration
  • aks-azure-policy/ - Azure Policy examples and configurations

This project is designed as a learning resource and reference implementation. Each directory contains its own documentation and configuration files that you can study and adapt for your own use cases.

• Azure CLI
• Terraform
• kubectl
• Docker (for containerized applications)

1. Fork this repository to your own account
2. Customize the configurations in the tfvars/ directories
3. Run Terraform to deploy your own version of the infrastructure
4. Explore the sample applications and modify them as needed

• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
• Terraform - Infrastructure as Code
• Azure Bicep - ARM template language
• Azure Container Registry (ACR)
• Azure Monitor & Application Insights
• Grafana - Monitoring and visualization
• Prometheus - Metrics collection
• Dapr - Distributed application runtime
• GitHub Actions - CI/CD pipelines

This project reflects my journey in learning:

• AKS cluster management and operations
• Infrastructure as Code best practices
• Kubernetes workload deployment patterns
• Azure cloud-native monitoring solutions
• Container orchestration and microservices architecture
