Disable and re-enable the AGIC add-on for your AKS cluster

  • Článok

When you deploy the Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) as an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) add-on, you can enable and disable the add-on with one line in the Azure CLI.

The life cycle of the Azure Application Gateway deployment differs when you disable the AGIC add-on, depending on whether you created the Application Gateway deployment by using the AGIC add-on or you deployed it separately from the add-on. You can run the same command to re-enable the AGIC add-on if you ever disable it, or to enable the AGIC add-on by using an existing AKS cluster and Application Gateway deployment.

Tip

Consider Application Gateway for Containers for your Kubernetes ingress solution.

Disable the AGIC add-on with an associated Application Gateway deployment

If the AGIC add-on automatically deployed Application Gateway for you when you first set up everything, then disabling the AGIC add-on might delete the Application Gateway deployment by default. The AGIC add-on considers two criteria to determine if it should delete the associated Application Gateway deployment:

  • Is Application Gateway deployed in the MC_* node resource group?
  • Does the Application Gateway deployment have the tag created-by: ingress-appgw? AGIC uses the tag to determine whether or not the add-on deployed Application Gateway.

If both criteria are met, the AGIC add-on deletes the Application Gateway deployment when you disable the add-on. However, the AGIC add-on doesn't delete the public IP address or the subnet in which it deployed Application Gateway.

If the first criterion isn't met, disabling the add-on doesn't delete the Application Gateway deployment, even if the deployment has the created-by: ingress-appgw tag. Likewise, if the second criterion isn't met (that is, the Application Gateway deployment lacks that tag), disabling the add-on doesn't delete the Application Gateway deployment in the MC_* node resource group.

Tip

If you don't want the add-on to delete your Application Gateway deployment when you disable the add-on, but the deployment meets both criteria, remove the created-by: ingress-appgw tag.

To disable the AGIC add-on, run the following command:

az aks disable-addons -n <AKS-cluster-name> -g <AKS-resource-group-name> -a ingress-appgw

Enable the AGIC add-on on an existing Application Gateway deployment and AKS cluster

If you ever disable the AGIC add-on and need to re-enable it, or you want to enable the add-on by using an existing Application Gateway deployment and AKS cluster, run the following command:

appgwId=$(az network application-gateway show -n <application-gateway-name> -g <resource-group-name> -o tsv --query "id") 
az aks enable-addons -n <AKS-cluster-name> -g <AKS-cluster-resource-group> -a ingress-appgw --appgw-id $appgwId
