Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes

Onboarding

This example demonstrates how to connect an existing Kubernetes cluster to Arc. It assumes you already have a cluster ready to work with.

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

If you do not yet have a Kubernetes cluster, the scenarios in this section will guide on creating an AKS cluster in order to simulate an “on-premises” cluster in an automated fashion using either ARM template or Terraform.

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) hybrid

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) hybrid deployment options (“AKS hybrid”) is an on-premises implementation. The scenarios in this section will guide on creating an AKS hybrid cluster in order to simulate an “on-premises” cluster in an automated fashion.

AKS on Azure Stack HCI

If you do not yet have a Kubernetes cluster, the scenarios in this section will guide on creating an AKS cluster on Azure Stack HCI in an automated fashion.

Kubernetes Cluster API

If you are working in a multi-cloud environment, the scenarios in this section will guide on creating clusters using Kubernetes Cluster API (CAPI) and onboard it as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster in an automated fashion.

Azure Red Hat OpenShift

If you do not yet have an Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster, the scenarios in this section will guide you on how to create an Azure-managed OpenShift cluster in an automated fashion and onboard it as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service

If you are working in a multi-cloud environment, the scenario in this section will guide on creating an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and onboard it as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster in an automated fashion using Terraform.

Google Kubernetes Engine

If you are working in a multi-cloud environment, the scenario in this section will guide on creating a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and onboard it as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster in an automated fashion using Terraform.

Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes

If you are working in a multi-cloud environment, the scenario in this section will guide on creating a Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes and onboard it as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster in an automated fashion using Terraform.

Rancher K3s

If you do not have a Kubernetes cluster, the scenarios in this section will guide on creating a Rancher K3s Kubernetes cluster on either your VMware vSphere infrastructure or on an Azure VM and onboard it as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster in an automated fashion using either ARM template or Terraform.

Kind

If you do not have a Kubernetes cluster, the scenario in this section will guide on creating a kind (kubernetes in docker) cluster on your local machine and onboard it as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster in an automated fashion.

MicroK8s

If you do not have a Kubernetes cluster, the scenario in this section will guide on creating a MicroK8s Kubernetes cluster on your local machine and onboard it as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster in an automated fashion.

Platform9 Managed Kubernetes

The scenario in this section will guide on creating a Platform9 Managed Kubernetes (PMK) cluster on-premise or on the cloud and onboard it as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster in an automated fashion.

Developer Use Cases

Once you onboarded your Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters, you can start to use native Azure tooling to manage the clusters as native Azure resources. The following scenarios show examples of using developer-centric use-cases.

Unified Operations Use Cases

Once you have Kubernetes clusters projected into Azure with Azure Arc, you can start to use native Azure tooling to manage the clusters as native Azure resources. The following scenarios show examples of using Cluster extensions and Azure management tools such as Azure Monitor, GitOps configurations, and Azure Policy.

IoT Uses Cases

If you do not yet have a Kubernetes cluster, the scenarios in this section will guide you on using AKS as an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster and simulate Azure IoT Edge environment in an automated fashion.
