* `tags` - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource.


`master_profile` supports the following:

* `count` - (Required) Number of masters (VMs) in the container service cluster. Allowed values are 1, 3, and 5. The default value is 1.

`linux_profile` supports the following:

* `admin_username` - (Required) The Admin Username for the Cluster.
* `ssh_key` - (Required) An SSH Key block as documented below.

`ssh_key` supports the following:

* `key_data` - (Required) The Public SSH Key used to access the cluster. The certificate must be in PEM format with or without headers.

`agent_pool_profile` supports the following:

* `name` - (Required) Unique name of the agent pool profile in the context of the subscription and resource group.
* `count` - (Required) Number of agents (VMs) to host docker containers. Allowed values must be in the range of 1 to 100 (inclusive). The default value is 1.
* `dns_prefix` - (Required) The DNS Prefix given to Agents in this Agent Pool.
