# Quickstart: Create a Windows-based Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster using Terraform
17+
18+
In this quickstart, you create an Azure Kubernetes cluster with a Windows node pool using Terraform. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed container orchestration service provided by Azure. It simplifies the deployment, scaling, and operations of containerized applications. The service uses Kubernetes, an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. The Windows node pool allows you to run Windows containers in your Kubernetes cluster.

## Prerequisites
30+
31+
- Create an Azure account with an active subscription. You can [create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F).
32+
33+
- [Install and configure Terraform](/azure/developer/terraform/quickstart-configure)
34+
35+
## Implement the Terraform code
36+
37+
> [!NOTE]
38+
> The sample code for this article is located in the [Azure Terraform GitHub repo](https://github.com/Azure/terraform/tree/master/quickstart/101-aks-cluster-windows). You can view the log file containing the [test results from current and previous versions of Terraform](https://github.com/Azure/terraform/tree/master/quickstart/101-aks-cluster-windows/TestRecord.md).

41+
42+
1. Create a directory in which to test and run the sample Terraform code and make it the current directory.
43+
44+
1. Create a file named `providers.tf` and insert the following code.
45+
:::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-aks-cluster-windows/providers.tf":::
46+
47+
1. Create a file named `main.tf` and insert the following code.
48+
:::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-aks-cluster-windows/main.tf":::
49+
50+
1. Create a file named `variables.tf` and insert the following code.
51+
:::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-aks-cluster-windows/variables.tf":::
52+
53+
1. Create a file named `outputs.tf` and insert the following code.
54+
:::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-aks-cluster-windows/outputs.tf":::
55+
56+
## Initialize Terraform
57+
58+
[!INCLUDE [terraform-init.md](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/terraform-init.md)]
59+
60+
## Create a Terraform execution plan
61+
62+
[!INCLUDE [terraform-plan.md](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/terraform-plan.md)]
63+
64+
## Apply a Terraform execution plan
65+
66+
[!INCLUDE [terraform-apply-plan.md](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/terraform-apply-plan.md)]
67+
68+
## Verify the results
69+
70+
Run [kubectl get](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#get) to print the cluster's nodes.
71+
72+
```bash
73+
kubectl get node -o wide
74+
```
75+
76+
