AKS managed cluster is in Provisioning State(RotatingClusterCertificates) and Power State(Stopped), starting cannot be performed

Question

Hello,

by mistake I started rotating cluster certificates operation when the cluster was stopped. Now I can't start, stop, update or do any action.

When I try to start I receive this error:

"managed cluster is in Provisioning State(RotatingClusterCertificates) and Power State(Stopped), starting cannot be performed".

Same type of message I get when I try other actions.

Any ideas?

Hello Dimitrios,

Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you initiate the certificate rotation when your AKS cluster was stopped and now the actual start operation can't be accomplished.

While we usually suggest waiting for operations to gracefully terminate, we now have a preview option to abort long running operations or those that were initiated by accident, please check below Microsoft documentation and give that a try:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/manage-abort-operations?tabs=azure-cli

The command that we should be interested in is:

az aks operation-abort --name myAKSCluster --resource-group myResourceGroup

hello @Dimitrios Chasanidis

as you have been mentioned the status now in failed state can you reconcile the aks cluster once you get the resourceId using this command:

1- RESOURCEID=$(az aks show -n dev-mygwf -g mygwf-rg --query id -o tsv)

2- reconcile the aks cluster using this command

az resource update --ids $RESOURCEID

check the aks cluster status, once it is back to the succeeded state you can run the command again.

waiting for your feedback,
