Setup k8s Cluster
k8sAzure is one option to run a k8s cluster.
install the azure cli on a linux machine
This is the core of the 'official' Microsoft setup script taken from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?view=azure-cli-latest instead of curling and piping a script to bash, we download and use the internal python script to set up everything, so you should have python installed…
wget https://azurecliprod.blob.core.windows.net/install.py chmod 777 install.py install.py
…the script will ask you where to put the directory and even add it"s bin folder to your $PATH, pretty impressive, nice job Microsoft!
create a k8s cluster in Azure
# login to azure
az login
# create the resource group 'apolloResourceGroup'
az group create --name apolloResourceGroup --location westeurope
# delete the resource group (this is for cleanup afterwards)
az group delete --name apolloResourceGroup
# create the cluster with 2 nodes (this might take some time)
az aks create \
--resource-group apolloResourceGroup \
--name apolloAKSCluster \
--node-count 2 \
--generate-ssh-keys
# --enable-addons http_application_routing \
# --enable-addons monitoring \
# connect kubectl to the cluster
az aks get-credentials --resource-group apolloResourceGroup --name apolloAKSClusterthe last command should give you a message like
Merged "apolloAKSCluster" as current context in ~/.kube/config
and you are good to go and use kubectl with the created k8s cluster.
