Deploying Kubernetes on Azure

In this module we are going to install Kubernetes on Azure. The first thing we
need to do is create a resource group.

Please note you do not need to use eastus you can create a resource group in an region. If you are in Australaia I would suggest australiaeast

Create a resource group

az group create --name k8s --location eastus

Next we are going to create the AKS cluster. If you are using a trial account you will need to change the machine size v1

Create your cluster

az aks create --resource-group k8s \
    --name k8s \
    --generate-ssh-keys \
    --kubernetes-version 1.15.7 \
    --enable-rbac \
    --node-vm-size Standard_DS2_v2

Next install the kubectl binary if you dont already have it installed. Now if you are using cloud shell you can skip this step as it is already installed.

If you dont have the kubectl binary installed

az aks install-cli

Get your cluster credentials

This command will download the credentials from your cluster. These credentials are the admin credentials for the cluster. So in a production cluster be careful with who has these.
az aks get-credentials --resource-group k8s --name k8s

Test your cluster

Now our cluster is up and running let's run a few commands that will show use what we have deployed so far.
To look at our nodes we will issue the following command
kubectl get nodes
Then to look at the pods we have issues the following
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

Now we move onto the next module here
