Prerequisites

Microsoft Azure

This tutorial leverages the Microsoft Azure to streamline provisioning of the compute infrastructure required to bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster from the ground up. Sign up for $200 in free credits.

Estimated cost to run this tutorial: $0.4 per hour ($10 per day).

The compute resources required for this tutorial will not exceed the Microsoft Azure free tier.

Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform SDK

Install the Microsoft Azure CLI 2.0

Follow the Microsoft Azure CLI 2.0 documentation to install and configure the az command line utility.

Verify the Microsoft Azure CLI 2.0 version is 2.0.14 or higher:

az --version

Create a default Resource Group in a location

The guide assumes you've installed the Azure CLI 2.0, and will be creating resources in the westus2 location, within a resource group named kubernetes. To create this resource group, simply run the following command:

az group create -n kubernetes -l westus2

Use the az account list-locations command to view additional locations.
