What You'll Need¶
- An Azure account.
- A configured Azure CLI.
Procedure¶
Find all available regions and decide on the region you will use to create all necessary resources:
root@rok-tools:~# az account list-locations -o table DisplayName Name RegionalDisplayName ------------------------ ------------------- ------------------------------------- East US eastus (US) East US East US 2 eastus2 (US) East US 2 South Central US southcentralus (US) South Central US West US 2 westus2 (US) West US 2 West US 3 westus3 (US) West US 3 ...
Go to the Azure products availability page and ensure that the Virtual Machine sizes that you want to use for your AKS cluster are available in the region you selected. If not, select a different region.
Note
In this guide, we are going to use the
Lsv2-series
Virtual Machines.Store the region you selected in a variable so you can retrieve it later. The remaining of the guide assumes that you will be using this location when creating resources via the Azure portal. The corresponding regional display name is (US) East US. We will refer to it as your desired region.
root@rok-tools:~# export AZURE_DEFAULTS_LOCATION=eastus
Find your current active subscription. The remaining of the guide assumes that you will be using this subscription when you create resources via the Azure portal. We will refer to it as your desired subscription.
root@rok-tools:~# az account show --query name -o tsv Azure subscription
Store the ID of your desired subscription so you can retrieve it later:
root@rok-tools:~# export SUBSCRIPTION_ID=$(az account show --query id -o tsv)
Summary¶
You have successfully set up the environment necessary for creating Cloud resources on Azure.
