Review what we learned in this chapter.

In this chapter:

We created Terraform definitions for variables, providers, and outputs in Azure.
We created a control plane by selecting a valid Kubernetes version.
We added the worker nodes to the control plane.
We also tried to upgrade the version of our created cluster.
We learned how to destroy all the resources.

Here is a list of all the commands used in this chapter:
