[SPIKE] Node Pool Support for Terraform AKS resource

[bnookala]

As a:

Cluster Operator

I want:

Node pool support in our terraform scripts

So that:

I can have multiple agent pools for my AKS cluster of varying VM SKUs, or (if i've reached my agent node limit per pool) have multiple agent pools of the same VM SKU.

Describe the solution you'd like:

An upstream terraform contribution to add node pool support to the AKS resource in the Azure terraform provider.

Additional context:

No existing work item exists in the upstream repository: https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+node+pool+

The google provider has a good way to implement node pool support: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/r/container_cluster.html

Does this require updates to documentation?:

Yes.

This is also important because inherently you are allowing VMSS and you will also put the first stone for Windows on AKS

Hello @bnookala ,

Thank you for opening the issue!

I think this functionality will be very useful.

Let us know how we can help to prioritize.

Thank you!

would like to have that feature also !
all my deployments are terraform based and we want to start using multiple node pool with terraform.
can't go to production without it.

The azure terraform resource provider now has node pool support hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm#3422 - we'll start work on getting a sample environment next

[bnookala]

Azure terraform provider is receiving a new resource to manage node pools independently allowing things like autoscaling - let's keep track of this while working on agent pool support independently: hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm#4001

In addition: hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm#3971 seems to be a present issue in the terraform provider, which should be noted.

[SPIKE] - Node pools w/availability zones (in Azure preview)

• Can this be turned on & off
• - A scaffold of the module in template
• - Dependencies and Preview caveats
• - Instructions with scaling in the cluster.

Updates for Node Pools added to Master terraform provider for azure - hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm@424e973
Needs testing then integration to Bedrock.

FYI this was enabled in provider v 1.37 so this looks stale but I stumbled here from google 😄

@NathanielRose From the last comment, it appears that this may be resolved now?

[NathanielRose]

Yes, @yradsmikham. Let's get a quick test log and doc proofing it out and this can be closed.
