» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Required) The name of the Managed Kubernetes Cluster to create. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • role_based_access_control - (Optional) A role_based_access_control block. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • tags - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource.


A addon_profile block supports the following:


A agent_pool_profile block supports the following:

  • name - (Required) Unique name of the Agent Pool Profile in the context of the Subscription and Resource Group. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • os_type - (Optional) The Operating System used for the Agents. Possible values are Linux and Windows. Changing this forces a new resource to be created. Defaults to Linux.

  • vnet_subnet_id - (Optional) The ID of the Subnet where the Agents in the Pool should be provisioned. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.


A azure_active_directory block supports the following:

  • client_app_id - (Required) The Client ID of an Azure Active Directory Application. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • server_app_id - (Required) The Server ID of an Azure Active Directory Application. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • server_app_secret - (Required) The Server Secret of an Azure Active Directory Application. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • tenant_id - (Optional) The Tenant ID used for Azure Active Directory Application. If this isn't specified the Tenant ID of the current Subscription is used. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • network_plugin - (Required) Network plugin to use for networking. Currently supported values are azure and kubenet. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
  • network_policy - (Optional) Sets up network policy to be used with Azure CNI. Network policy allows us to control the traffic flow between pods. This field can only be set when network_plugin is set to azure. Currently supported values are calico and azure. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • dns_service_ip - (Optional) IP address within the Kubernetes service address range that will be used by cluster service discovery (kube-dns). This is required when network_plugin is set to azure. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • docker_bridge_cidr - (Optional) IP address (in CIDR notation) used as the Docker bridge IP address on nodes. This is required when network_plugin is set to azure. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
