Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications with Kubernetes. Integrating Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with AKS enhances security by controlling user access within the Kubernetes environment. By provisioning a service principal and adding it to an Azure Active Directory (AD) group, administrators can efficiently manage permissions. This setup ensures that only authorized users and applications can access and modify resources. The process includes creating the necessary resources in Azure, including the AD group and service principal, and configuring the AKS cluster with Azure RBAC for enhanced security.

Next, create a terraform-azure directory and configure the Azure provider in a main.tf file. After initializing the Terraform directory, run terraform plan to preview the changes, followed by terraform apply to implement the changes to your Azure infrastructure
