<p>I deployed an Azure AKS cluster via the following terraform statements into an existing vnet. It worked, the AKS cluster is created with an Azure load balancer and an public IP address assigned to it. I need a setup with an internal Azure load balancer only. How do I have to change the terraform code to only get an internal Azure load balancer? Thanks</p>

<p>For your issue, you can see that you set the network_profile of the AKS cluster like this:</p>

<pre><code>network_profile {

    network_plugin = "azure"

    service_cidr = "172.100.0.0/24"

    dns_service_ip = "172.100.0.10"

    docker_bridge_cidr = "172.101.0.1/16"

    load_balancer_sku = "standard"

  }
</code></pre>

<p>And you set the property <code>load_balancer_sku</code>, it will create a <code>standard</code> type Load Balancer for you. And this property only can use the value <code>basic</code> and <code>standard</code>. So it seems it's impossible to create the AKS cluster without a Load Balancer. And you can see the <a href="https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/11233" rel="nofollow noreferrer">issue</a> in Github. As it said, the newest CLI also cannot help you achieve that.</p>

<p>If you have more questions about this issue, please let me know. I'm glad if I can help you solve the problem.</p>
