# AKS Cluster Creation action

This action creates an Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster using Terraform

## Setup

Making use of this action requires an Azure Service Principal and a resource group containing a storage account to store the terraform state.

These can be created using the setup.sh script in this repo

```
./setup.sh -c <<cluster name> -g <<resource group name>> -s <<subscription id>> -r <<region>>
```

The output from this command should look like this and matches the variables that need to be passed to the action

```
CLUSTER_NAME: testCluster
RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME: newGroup
STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME: newgroup27941
STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME: testclustertstate
STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY: ******
ARM_CLIENT_ID: ******
ARM_CLIENT_SECRET: ******
ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID: ******
ARM_TENANT_ID: ******
```
