This step explains how to set up your shell environment and create a Microsoft® Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster suitable for testing Apigee hybrid.
Set up your terminal shell
Be sure you have the
Azure CLI (az) and kubectl
installed in your local shell. The Azure CLI
tool provides the primary command-line interface for Azure, and kubectl
provides the primary
command-line interface for running commands against Kubernetes clusters.
Create a resource group
Create a resource group either using Azure console or with the Azure CLI. For example:
az group create --name my-hybrid-rg --location eastus
Create a virtual network
Create a virtual network with a non-conflicting CIDR range. For example:
az network vnet create \ --name my-hybrid-rg-vnet \ --resource-group my-hybrid-rg \ --address-prefixes 120.38.1.0/24 \ --subnet-name my-hybrid-rg-vnet-subnet \ --subnet-prefix 120.38.1.0/26
Create an AKS cluster
In this step, you will create an AKS cluster.
- Open the Microsoft® Azure Portal.
- Click Kubernetes services.
- Create a cluster with the following minimum configuration settings.
Tab Attribute Value Basics Subscription Your subscription name Resource group The resource group you created previously Region The region you specified previously. For example: (US) East US Kubernetes cluster name The name of the cluster. For example: my-hybrid-aks-cluster
Kubernetes version Choose version 1.13 or a later version DNS name prefix The DNS name prefix. For example: my-hybrid-aks-cluster-dns
Node count 3 Node size DS3 Standard Scale Virtual nodes Disabled VM scale sets Enabled Authentication Enable RBAC Yes Service principal Default Networking HTTP application routing No Load balancer Standard Network configuration Advanced Virtual network The virtual network name. You can select the virtual network you created previously, or create a new one by clicking the Create new link. For example: my-hybrid-rg-vnet
Cluster subnet Example: default (10.240.0.0/16)
Kubernetes service address range The service address range. Be sure to use a non-competing address range. For example: 10.0.0.0/16
Kubernetes DNS service IP address For example: 10.0.0.10
Docker Bridge address For example: 172.17.0.1/16
Monitoring Enable container monitoring Yes Log Analytics workspace For example: DefaultWorkspace-66f9d75c-2cd9-47dd-ad0f-c43d888e9cef-EUS
Tags None - Click Review and Create.
- When the cluster creation completes, go to the next step.
Set cluster credentials
Add the kubernetes cluster credentials for the newly created cluster using the following command if not already added. For example:
az aks get-credentials --resource-group my-hybrid-rg --name my-hybrid-aks-cluster
Set the current context
A context is a group of access parameters. Each context contains a Kubernetes cluster,
a user and a namespace. The current context is the cluster that is currently the default for
kubectl
: all kubectl
commands run against that cluster.
Make sure the current context is set to the cluster you just created. For example:
kubectl config current-context my-hybrid-aks-cluster-context
If the context is not set to your cluster as expected, follow these steps to change it:
- List all the contexts to determine which is the current context. In the
following example, the context is set to the
my-hybrid-aks-ext01
:kubectl config get-contexts CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO my-hybrid-aks-cluster my-hybrid-aks-cluster clusterUser_my-hybrid-rg2_myhybrid-aks-cluster * my-hybrid-aks-ext01 my-hybrid-aks-ext01 clusterUser_my-hybrid-rg_my-hybrid-aks-ext01
- If necessary, set the current context to the cluster you just created (the cluster
into which you intend to install Apigee hybrid). Assuming the previous
get-contexts
output, if the cluster name you created weremy-hybrid-aks-cluster
, you would switch to themy-hybrid-aks-cluster
context, as follows:kubectl config use-context my-hybrid-aks-cluster
Where
my-hybrid-aks-cluster
is the name of the cluster context to switch to.
Summary
You now have a Kubernetes cluster running in AKS. Your shell environment is set up, and you are ready to install the Apigee hybrid runtime software on your local machine.
