I'm trying to create an AKS cluster using a dedicated host.
I'm following this documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/use-azure-dedicated-hosts
For the dedicated host I'm using DCSv2-Type1 as I need an host with a cpu that supports Intel SGX.
All steps go good but in the step https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/use-azure-dedicated-hosts#create-an-aks-cluster-using-the-host-group whe I create the aks cluster and specify to use the host group with argument --host-group-id, I receive an error:
az aks create -g brunoneves-test -n ab-devops-test --location northeurope --nodepool-name app --node-count 1 --host-group-id /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/brunoneves-test/providers/Microsoft.Compute/hostGroups/ab-devops-test --node-vm-size Standard_DC2s_v2 --enable-managed-identity --assign-identity /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx/resourcegroups/brunoneves-test/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/ab-devops-test
unrecognized arguments: --host-group-id /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/brunoneves-test/providers/Microsoft.Compute/hostGroups/ab-devops-test
Documentation is very clear that I need to use --host-group-id argument but then CLI throws an error saying it does not recognize the argument.
I've updated my azure CLI to latest version until today:
$ az version
{
"azure-cli": "2.51.0",
"azure-cli-core": "2.51.0",
"azure-cli-telemetry": "1.1.0",
"extensions": {
"aks-preview": "0.5.41",
"log-analytics": "0.2.1"
}
}
In documentation in that link: "Before you start, ensure that your version of the Azure CLI is 2.39.0 or later"
Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bruno Neves

In portal CLI it worked.
But CLI version is a bit older:
$ az version
{
"azure-cli": "2.50.0",
"azure-cli-core": "2.50.0",
"azure-cli-telemetry": "1.0.8",
"extensions": {
"ai-examples": "0.2.5",
"ml": "2.18.0",
"ssh": "1.1.6"
}
}
Dont understand why in local computer it does not work...

That's good to know that the flag is indeed valid one & it's working.
Can you try to re-install the az cli in your local computer ?

Thanks for your suggestion. I've uninstalled the CLI and reintalled latest version 2.51.0 same as 1st post.
I've also deleted the .azure folder on my home folder.
I've executed the command to create the AKS cluster and it worked.

-> Initially below command failed in your local system:
az aks create -g brunoneves-test -n ab-devops-test --location northeurope --nodepool-name app --node-count 1 --host-group-id /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/brunoneves-test/providers/Microsoft.Compute/hostGroups/ab-devops-test --node-vm-size Standard_DC2s_v2 --enable-managed-identity --assign-identity /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx/resourcegroups/brunoneves-test/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/ab-devops-test
unrecognized arguments: --host-group-id /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/brunoneves-test/providers/Microsoft.Compute/hostGroups/ab-devops-test
-> We tested using Azure Portal CLI - it went through
-> Then you've uninstalled the CLI and reintalled latest version 2.51.0 same as 1st post.
-> Then you 've also deleted the .azure folder on your home folder
-> Later you've executed the command to create the AKS cluster and it worked.
