Install Azure CLI on EC2 CentOS7 and Connect to Azure AKS
I have been told to restart the internal monitoring system today and after some consideration, I have decided to deploy the monitoring system on Azure AKS. As titled, I will install Azure CLI on a CentOS7 hosted on EC2 and use it to connect to the already provisioned Azure AKS.
This will be a short post, let’s get started!
Steps:
- Install azure-cli
- Install kubectl
- Login to Azure, get AKS credential file and connect
Setup Azure Cli repository and install Cli. Refer here for more details.
sudo rpm - import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.ascsudo sh -c 'echo -e "[azure-cli]
name=Azure CLI
baseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/azure-cli
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > /etc/yum.repos.d/azure-cli.repo'yum install azure-cli
Next, install kubectl. Refer here for more details.
cat <<EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo
[kubernetes]
name=Kubernetes
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/kubernetes-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
EOFyum install -y kubectl
Once done, verify the result.
Next, login to Azure, get credential file from Azure AKS and verify that you can access AKS from EC2.
az loginaz account set --subscription YOUR_SUBSCRIPTIONaz aks get-credentials --resource-group AKS_RG_NAME --name AKS_CLUSTER_NAMEkubectl cluster-info
With some simple kubectl commands to check out the cluster.
That’s it! Now we can access Azure AKS from client side!
