Building an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cluster Using AVM

Kubernetes has become the default orchestrator for containerized workloads, but standing up a production-ready AKS cluster is far more complex than just running az aks create. From system node pools and user node pools to managed identities, Azure Container Registry integration, and network plugins, the configuration matrix is overwhelming.

In this session, we'll demonstrate how to use Azure Verified Modules (AVM) AKS-specific modules to deploy enterprise-grade Kubernetes clusters with confidence. Learn how to move from fragile, hand-written Terraform/Bicep scripts to composable, verified building blocks that encapsulate AKS best practices. Whether you're running stateless microservices or stateful AI workloads, discover how AVM can standardize your AKS deployments while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to your specific needs.
