Why Most AKS Deployments FailÂ
Â
Most teams struggle for weeks or months to get AKS truly production-ready:
-
Networking issues when moving to private clusters.
-
Misconfigured DNS, firewalls, and private endpoints.
-
Security gaps around RBAC and secrets.
-
Terraform code that doesn’t scale.
Sound familiar? You don’t need to figure this out the hard way.

What You’ll Learn
Â
This course gives you my blueprint and Terraform templates to deploy a fully private, production-ready AKS cluster in Azure. Step by step, you’ll cover:
âś… Hub & spoke network topology
âś… VPN access for cluster management
âś… Azure Firewall & DNS Private Resolver
âś… Private endpoints (ACR, Key Vault, Storage, Monitoring)
âś… Secure AKS with RBAC enabled
âś… Ingress with NGINX via Web App Routing
âś… Azure Front Door for public apps
âś… CI/CD in Azure DevOps (with a managed pool)
âś… Private Monitoring with Prometheus & Grafana (no public access)
By the end, you’ll have a repeatable Terraform setup that you can reuse across environments.
Who This Course Is For
Â
This course is built for:
-
Cloud engineers who want to deploy AKS the right way.
-
DevOps/SREs who need to secure, automate, and scale clusters.
-
Consultants/freelancers who want to fast-track expertise and deliver results to clients.
This course is not for beginners to Azure, but perfect if you’re ready to go beyond “hello world” Kubernetes.
