Terraform and Helm
Did you know that you can fully create a managed Kubernetes cluster in Azure using Terraform? Well you can take that one step further and also manage what's installed in your cluster using Terraform and Helm. This can be done by using the Helm provider for Terraform. Now,

Restrict Traffic to a Pod in Kubernetes
Let's say you have a pod that you want to reject all traffic to, unless the traffic is coming from a specific type of pod. In this case, an ingress Network Policy will serve your needs. Here's a quick example of what that might look like

Verify Node is Ready to join K8s Cluster
What happens if a node joins a cluster before it is ready? Fortunately, you'll never have to find out. For this very reason, there is a test suite maintained by the Kubernetes community called the Node Conformance Test. This set of tests will ensure that the node complies

Visualize Azure Active Directory Role-Based Access Control for Kubernetes
Acronyms: * AAD - Azure Active Directory * AKS - Azure Kubernetes Service * RBAC - Role-based access control Recently, I implemented AAD for AKS RBAC. The documentation doesn't do a great job of visualizing what the mappings look like, so here's a quick view of how you can

GitOps with Terraform for Kubernetes
Did you know that Terraform can run kubectl commands? Yep! There's a provider for Kubernetes. The Kubernetes provider has a growing list of resources that you can manage via Terraform. For instance, you could declaratively and explicitly manage Kubernetes permissions via Terraform by defining roles and role bindings.

How to Fix Terraform Helm and Kubernetes Providers after implementing AAD RBAC in AKS
I implemented the Azure Active Directory (AAD) integration with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for Role Based Access Control (RBAC) today in an existing cluster. I use Terraform to manage the cluster as well as all of the Helm installs and custom resource definitions that I apply via kubectl. The Problem
