AKS Engine is the easiest way to provision a self-managed Kubernetes cluster on Azure.

AKS Engine provides convenient tooling to quickly bootstrap Kubernetes clusters on Azure. By leveraging ARM (Azure Resource Manager), AKS Engine helps you create, destroy and maintain clusters provisioned with basic IaaS resources in Azure. AKS Engine is also the library used by AKS for performing these operations to provide managed service implementations.

Depending on how new you are to AKS Engine, you can try a tutorial, or just dive straight into the documentation.
