1. In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Administrator -> Infrastructure.

2. Select the Infrastructure that you created from the NAME column.

3. Select the Kubernetes tab. The following message displays: Kubernetes cluster is not yet enabled. Click Here to enable the Kubernetes Cluster.

4. Click on the Click Here hyperlink. The Configure AKS Cluster pane displays.

   
5. In the Cluster name field, specify a name for your cluster.

6. Select your node VM size from the Node VM Size list box.

7. From the AKS Version item list, select your AKS version.

8. In the Cluster Type item list, select Public or Private.

9. In the Node Count field, specify the number of nodes.

10. Optionally, enable System NodePool Autoscaling and specify the number of nodes in the Min Count and Max Count fields.

    The Advanced Options section of the Configure AKS Cluster pane
12. Optionally, specify:
