Setup - Azure

Setting up a Kubernetes Cluster with Azure (AKS)

Deploy a Kubernetes cluster in Azure using AKS service.
Requirements
1.Azure account
2.az and Azure credentials configured
3.kubectl
LINUX/MAC is the preferred method of setup.
Windows should choose either:
1.Deploy a THORNode from a Linux VPS.
2.Use Windows Subsystem for Linux - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about****
Steps
Firstly, clone and enter the cluster-launcher repository. All commands in this section are to be run inside this repo.
git clone https://gitlab.com/thorchain/devops/cluster-launcher
cd cluster-launcher
Then install the terraform CLI:
LINUX/MAC
Install Terraform:
brew install terraform
Azure CLI
The Azure CLI allows you to manage your Azure services.
LINUX/MAC
Use the package manager homebrew to install the Azure CLI.
brew install azure-cli
az login
You will be asked for you Personal Access Token with read/write priveleges (retrieve from API Panel from the Azure web console.)
API -> Tokens/Keys -> Create Token.
Make sure you handle your secrets securely!
Kubernetes Control Tool
You must install and configure the Kubernetes CLI tool (kubectl). **To install kubectl** , follow these instructions, or choose a package manager based on your operating system.
LINUX/MAC
Use the package manager homebrew to install kubectl.
brew install kubernetes-cli
wget && jq
You also need wget and jq, follow these instructions, or choose a package manager based on your operating system.
LINUX/MAC
Use the package manager homebrew to install wget and jq Note: You most likely have these installed already.
brew install wget
brew install jq
Deploy Kubernetes Cluster
Use the commands below to deploy an AKS cluster:
make azure
During the deploy, you will be asked to enter information about your cluster:
var.location
  The location where the Managed Kubernetes Cluster should be created
​
  Enter a value: eastus2
​
var.name
  The base name used for all resources
​
  Enter a value: tc-k8s
Location -- az account list-locations -o table
Name
Confirm yes
Deploying a cluster takes ~15 minutes
CONFIGURE
Now that you've provisioned your AKS cluster, you need to configure kubectl. Customize the following command with your cluster name and resource group. It will get the access credentials for your cluster and automatically configure kubectl.
az aks get-credentials -a -g <resource_group> -n <cluster_name>
This replaces the existing configuration at ~/.kube/config.
Once done, you can check if your cluster is responding correctly by running the following commands.
kubectl version
kubectl get nodes
You are now ready to deploy a THORNode.
