## Overview

This repository provisions Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with Terraform and an Azure DevOps pipeline, and includes Kubernetes manifests for sample Nginx, Java/User Management, and Windows workloads. The README documents the provisioning technologies but gives no details connecting the workload manifests to the cluster. No source excerpts were provided, so those relationships are left out.

Main entry points: [`01-terraform-provision-aks-cluster-pipeline.yml`](https://github.com/stacksimplify/azure-devops-aks-kubernetes-terraform-pipeline/blob/master/01-terraform-provision-aks-cluster-pipeline.yml) (Provisioning Pipeline), [`terraform-manifests`](https://github.com/stacksimplify/azure-devops-aks-kubernetes-terraform-pipeline/tree/master/terraform-manifests) (AKS Terraform Configuration)
