Register Azure AKS Cluster

1. In order to register an Azure Cluster, you must first register the Azure Cloud Account in gopaddle. Follow these steps to register the Azure Cloud Account.

2. Download and install Azure CLI by following these steps.

3. Login to Azure account and get the KubeConfig to access the cluster:

az login
az account set --subscription <subscription-id>
KUBECONFIG=./aks.config az aks get-credentials --resource-group <resource-group-name> --name <azure-cluster-name> --overwrite-existing

If you don't have a Bastion Host setup, and if the server value in the Kubeconfig points to a private IP address:

a) Replace the server value to a publicly accessible Cluster Master API Endpoint

b) Make sure the firewall is open for the Cluster Master API port

c) Make sure the Cluster certificate is attached to the Public IP. Here is an example of how to update the certSANs with the public IP. - https://blog.scottlowe.org/2019/07/30/adding-a-name-to-kubernetes-api-server-certificate/
