Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform in Microsoft Azure

Only regions where Availability Zones are available are supported.

Before starting the installation, ensure you have the cloud provider quotas required to deploy your cluster.

To rule the Microsoft Azure cloud, you need an account and at least a single Subscription connected to id.

You have to create a service account with Microsoft Azure so that Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform can manage cloud resources. The detailed instructions for creating a service account with Microsoft Azure are available in the documentation. Below, we will provide a brief overview of the necessary actions (run them on the personal computer).

Install the Azure CLI and perform a login.

Export the environment variable by substituting the subscription ID instead of the my-subscription-id:

export SUBSCRIPTION_ID=$(az login | jq -r '.[0].id')
export SUBSCRIPTION_ID=$(az login | jq -r '.[0].id')

Create a service account:

az ad sp create-for-rbac --role="Contributor" --scopes="/subscriptions/$SUBSCRIPTION_ID" --name "account_name"
az ad sp create-for-rbac --role="Contributor" --scopes="/subscriptions/$SUBSCRIPTION_ID" --name "account_name"

At this step, a service account will be created, with a secret (used in the clientSecret parameter of the AzureClusterConfiguration resource) validity period of one year without automatic renewal. Refer to the official documentation to create a service account with a longer secret expiration date.
