Using Cluster Api to Create Kubernetes Clusters on Azure
In this post let’s look at using CAPI to deploy a Kubernetes cluster in Azure. The end goal is to create a Kubernetes cluster in Azure with three control plane nodes and three worker nodes.

Cluster API brings declarative, Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster creation, configuration, and management.

In this post I am documenting the general steps involved in building out a Kubernetes infrastructure on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) using terraform and deploy workloads using Azure devops (AzDO) and Helm charts. ...
