AKS initial setup

Enable Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to connect with Azure

Enabling the AKS Kubernetes Cluster

Once your Infrastructure and Plan have been created, the final step before creating a Tenant is to enable Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to connect with Azure cloud management.

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

2. Select the Infrastructure that you created, in the NAME column of the Infrastructure page.

3. Click 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. From the AKS Version item list, select your AKS version.

7. Optionally, from the Network Plugin item list, select your network plugin (azure or kubenet).

8. Optionally, enter your Azure Node Resource Group name in the K8s Resource group field.

9. Accept the default values for the remaining fields, and click Create to enable the AKS service for your Infrastructure.

   

   The Configure AKS Cluster pane

DuploCloud begins creating and configuring an AKS cluster using Kubernetes. You receive an alert message when the Infrastructure has been updated.

It may take some time for enablement to complete. Use the Kubernetes card in the Infrastructure screen to monitor the status, which should display as Enabled when completed. You can also monitor progress by using the Kubernetes tab, as DuploCloud generates your Cluster Name, Default VM Size, Server Endpoint, and Token.
