Create an AKS Cluster with AGIC Add On With Bicep?

Question

I'm looking for details of how to create an AKS cluster with an AGIC add on via bicep.

Answer 1

Hello, @Ian Joyce !

How do I deploy an AKS cluster with the Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) add-on via ARM/Bicep?
There is a very extensive code sample that goes through the architecture, deployment options (both using the AGIC add-on for AKS and via a Helm chart), and additional considerations. This is an ARM template but I'm including Bicep information below:

• Code Samples: Create an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster with the Azure Application Gateway Ingress Controller
• GitHub: AKS cluster with the Application Gateway Ingress Controller

As far as a Bicep deployment is concerned, you can use the AKS Managed Clusters Bicep template for creating an AKS cluster and enable AGIC using a similar approach to the GitHub sample above with ingressApplicationGateway:

"ingressApplicationGateway": {  
            "config": {  
              "applicationGatewayId": "[variables('applicationGatewayId')]"  
            },  
            "enabled": true,  
            "identity": {  
              "clientId": "[reference(variables('applicationGatewayUserDefinedManagedIdentityId')).clientId]",  
              "objectId": "[reference(variables('applicationGatewayUserDefinedManagedIdentityId')).principalId]",  
              "resourceId": "[variables('applicationGatewayUserDefinedManagedIdentityId')]"  
            }  
          }  

If this doesn't address what you are looking for, let me know so we can look for a sample that more closely aligns with your design goals.
