Ready to quickly deploy the latest version of Azure Service Operator on your Kubernetes cluster and start exploring? Follow these steps.
-
Before starting, you must have a Kubernetes cluster (at least version 1.16) created and running. Check your connection and version with:
$ kubectl version Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"19", GitVersion:"v1.19.2", GitCommit:"f5743093fd1c663cb0cbc89748f730662345d44d", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2020-09-16T13:41:02Z", GoVersion:"go1.15", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"} Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"18", GitVersion:"v1.18.2", GitCommit:"52c56ce7a8272c798dbc29846288d7cd9fbae032", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2020-04-30T20:19:45Z", GoVersion:"go1.13.9", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
You'll also need to have the Azure CLI installed (>= 2.13.0).
-
Install cert-manager on the cluster using the following command.
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v0.12.0/cert-manager.yaml
Note: if you are using a more recent version of cert-manager you will have to add
--set certManagerResourcesAPIVersion=cert-manager.io/v1
to the Helm command specified below. -
Install Helm, and add the Helm repo for Azure Service Operator. Please note that the instructions here use Helm 3.
helm repo add aso https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-service-operator/main/charts
-
Create an Azure Service Principal. You'll need this to grant Azure Service Operator permissions to create resources in your subscription. For more information about other forms of authentication supported by ASO, see the authentication section of the deployment documentation.
First, set the following environment variables to your Azure Tenant ID and Subscription ID with your values:
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<your-tenant-id-goes-here> AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id-goes-here>
You can find these values by using the Azure CLI:
az account show
Next, we'll create a service principal with Contributor permissions for your subscription, so ASO can create resources in your subscription on your behalf. Note that the ServicePrincipal you pass to the command below needs to have access to create resources in your subscription. If you'd like to use Managed Identity for authorization instead, check out instructions here.
az ad sp create-for-rbac -n "azure-service-operator" --role contributor \ --scopes /subscriptions/$AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID
This should give you output like the following:
"appId": "xxxxxxxxxx", "displayName": "azure-service-operator", "name": "http://azure-service-operator", "password": "xxxxxxxxxxx", "tenant": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Once you have created a service principal, set the following variables to your app ID and password values:
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id> # This is the appID from the service principal we created. AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret> # This is the password from the service principal we created.
-
Install the Azure Service Operator on your cluster using Helm.
helm upgrade --install aso aso/azure-service-operator \ --create-namespace \ --namespace=azureoperator-system \ --set azureSubscriptionID=$AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID \ --set azureTenantID=$AZURE_TENANT_ID \ --set azureClientID=$AZURE_CLIENT_ID \ --set azureClientSecret=$AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
If you would like to install an older version you can list the available versions:
helm search repo aso --versions
You should now see the Azure service operator pods running in your cluster, like the below.
$ kubectl get pods -n azureoperator-system NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE azureoperator-controller-manager-7dd75bbd97-mk4s9 2/2 Running 0 35s
To deploy an Azure service through the operator, check out the set of supported Azure services and the sample YAML files in the config/samples
folder to create the resources using the following command.
kubectl apply -f <YAML file>
This project maintains releases of the Azure Service Operator that you can deploy via a configurable Helm chart.
