Description

My org and I presume many others have mandatory tagging policies in place in Azure, both at the resource and resource group levels (for things like app ID, ownership, billing, etc.). These policies require certain tags to be present at the time of creating the resource or group.

Currently, we have to suspend/remove Azure Policies during the time of AKS cluster creation and return them to normal state later, which could be avoided if we were able to supply the needed tags during creation (or build the resource group ourselves in advance, with those tags already in place).

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster" "aks1" {

  # The Basics
  resource_group_name = data.azurerm_resource_group.rg1.name
  location            = data.azurerm_resource_group.rg1.location
  name                = var.cluster_name

  # These are the tags applied to the AKS cluster resource:
  tags = {
    cluster_level_tag1 = "value1"
    cluster_level_tag2 = var.get_some_value_from_a_variable
  }

  # [...other AKS config...]

  node_resource_group = {
    name = var.cluster_managed_resource_group_name
    tags = {
      # These tags would be applied to the Node Resource Group that is automatically created
      # when defining and creating the AKS cluster
      node_resource_group_tag1 = "a value applied specifically to the node resource group"
      node_resource_group_tag2 = var.something_else_that_comes_from_variables
    }
  }
}

Thanks for raising this request @jeffhuenemann.

We are only able to support features that are available in the AKS API. Looking at the API spec it looks like this is not available, I would suggest raising this over on Azure/AKS so that the service team can take a look at this.

Thanks for taking the time to open this issue. It looks like the behavior you requested is not supported by the underlying AKS API so I am going to close it for now. If you create a request on AKS repo, feel free to add the link here. When it gets added, we can reopen this request or you can create a new one.
