To deploy Kubernetes on Azure uncomment the cloud_provider
option in group_vars/all.yml
and set it to 'azure'
.
All your instances are required to run in a resource group and a routing table has to be attached to the subnet your instances are in.
Not all features are supported yet though, for a list of the current status have a look here
Before creating the instances you must first set the azure_
variables in the group_vars/all.yml
file.
All of the values can be retrieved using the azure cli tool which can be downloaded here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/xplat-cli-install
After installation you have to run azure login
to get access to your account.
run azure account show
to retrieve your subscription id and tenant id:
azure_tenant_id
-> Tenant ID field
azure_subscription_id
-> ID field
The region your instances are located, can be something like westeurope
or westcentralus
. A full list of region names can be retrieved via azure location list
The name of the resource group your instances are in, can be retrieved via azure group list
The name of the virtual network your instances are in, can be retrieved via azure network vnet list
The name of the subnet your instances are in, can be retrieved via azure network vnet subnet list RESOURCE_GROUP VNET_NAME
The name of the network security group your instances are in, can be retrieved via azure network nsg list
These will have to be generated first:
- Create an Azure AD Application with:
azure ad app create --name kubernetes --identifier-uris http://kubernetes --home-page http://example.com --password CLIENT_SECRET
The name, identifier-uri, home-page and the password can be choosen Note the AppId in the output. - Create Service principal for the application with:
azure ad sp create --applicationId AppId
This is the AppId from the last command - Create the role assignment with:
azure role assignment create --spn http://kubernetes -o "Owner" -c /subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID
azure_aad_client_id must be set to the AppId, azure_aad_client_secret is your choosen secret.
Sku of Load Balancer and Public IP. Candidate values are: basic and standard.
azure_exclude_master_from_standard_lb excludes master nodes from standard
load balancer.
azure_disable_outbound_snat disables the outbound SNAT for public load balancer rules. It should only be set when azure_exclude_master_from_standard_lb is standard
.
(Optional) The name of the availability set that should be used as the load balancer backend .If this is set, the Azure cloudprovider will only add nodes from that availability set to the load balancer backend pool. If this is not set, and multiple agent pools (availability sets) are used, then the cloudprovider will try to add all nodes to a single backend pool which is forbidden. In other words, if you use multiple agent pools (availability sets), you MUST set this field.
Use instance metadata service where possible
You'll find Resource Group Templates and scripts to provision the required infrastructure to Azure in contrib/azurerm
