Azure Terraform-Deploying a Highly Available AKS Cluster with Application Gateway

Deploying a highly available Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster integrated with an Application Gateway

1. Why We Need This Use Case

Deploying a highly available Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster integrated with an Application Gateway ensures robust, scalable, and secure management of applications in the cloud. This setup is crucial for handling high traffic loads and maintaining application availability, even during outages or maintenance. Using Terraform to automate this deployment simplifies the process and ensures consistency across environments.

2. When We Need This Use Case

• Scalability Requirements: When you need a scalable environment for containerized applications.

• High Availability Needs: To ensure your application remains available and performant even if parts of the infrastructure fail.

• Traffic Management: When you need efficient traffic distribution and load balancing through an Application gateway,.

• Infrastructure as Code: When you want to automate and manage your infrastructure deployments using code.
