What can I do next?

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.

The cloud-init package must be installed on the VMs. After the virtual machine is started, the following services associated with this package must be started:

  • cloud-config.service;
  • cloud-final.service;
  • cloud-init.service.

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:

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

Create a service account:

Copy content
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.
