Start ArangoDB on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Requirements

• kubectl (version >= 1.10)
• helm
• Azure CLI

Deploy cluster

• In Azure dashboard choose Create a resource
• Choose Kubernetes Service

Cluster basics (version >=1.10)

Cluster authentication (Enable RBAC)

Wait for cluster to be created

Move to control using kubectl

• Login to Azure using CLI

  $ az login
    [
      {
        "cloudName": "AzureCloud",
        "id": "...",
        "isDefault": true,
        "name": "ArangoDB-INC",
        "state": "Enabled",
        "tenantId": "...",
        "user": {
          "name": "xxx@arangodb.com",
          "type": "user"
        }
      }
    ]
  

• Get AKS credentials to merge with local config, using resource group and cluster names used for above deployment

    $ az aks get-credentials --resource-group clifton --name ArangoDB
  

• Verify successful merge

  $ kubectl get svc
    NAME         TYPE        CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)   AGE
    kubernetes   ClusterIP   10.0.0.1     <none>        443/TCP   38m
  

• Initialize helm

  $ kubectl create serviceaccount --namespace kube-system tiller
    serviceaccount/tiller created
  

  $ kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule \
        --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
    clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/tiller-cluster-rule created
  

  $ helm init --service-account tiller
    $HELM_HOME has been configured at /home/xxx/.helm.
    ...
    Happy Helming!
  
    Tiller (the Helm server-side component) has been
    installed into your Kubernetes Cluster.
