Description

az can create aks clusters with virtual scale sets enabled by --enable-vmss, and we would like to be able to do the same in terraform. VMSS is a requirement for node autoscaling, which is cool.

It looks like the new version of the SDK contains the necessary autoscaling configuration properties so this can be done with a bump to the containerservice API version being used.

@Lucretius the new version of the SDK being the SDK version or the API Version?

[Lucretius]

Sorry, the new version of the API within the existing SDK. See here

@Lucretius looks like this would require bumping the Azure SDK too, we're currently using v25.1.0 where that API version isn't available: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/tree/v25.1.0/services/containerservice/mgmt

I was looking at the same thing.

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/tree/v26.5.0/services/containerservice/mgmt/2019-02-01/containerservice

comes with >= v26.5.0

@tombuildsstuff do you need to track the bump of the sdk in a separate issues / PR

[tombuildsstuff]

@djsly sorry I meant to open a PR for the SDK upgrade last week (but it dropped off my radar) - let me do that now

[tombuildsstuff]

@djsly PR to update the SDK: #3126

Please also remember adding availability zone support while enabling vmss.

Availability zones are currently supported in the go SDK

	// AvailabilityZones - (PREVIEW) Availability zones for nodes. Must use VirtualMachineScaleSets AgentPoolType.
AvailabilityZones *[]string `json:"availabilityZones,omitempty"`

I guess this can be closed now that #3422 is merged @dominik-lekse?

[dominik-lekse]
