Deploy and manage cluster extensions by using Azure CLI

  • Чланак

You can create extension instances in an AKS cluster, setting required and optional parameters including options related to updates and configurations. You can also view, list, update, and delete extension instances.

Before you begin, read about cluster extensions.

Note

The examples provided in this article are not complete, and are only meant to showcase functionality. For a comprehensive list of commands and their parameters, see the az k8s-extension CLI reference.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, you can create a free account.

  • The Microsoft.ContainerService and Microsoft.KubernetesConfiguration resource providers must be registered on your subscription. To register these providers, run the following command:

    az provider register --namespace Microsoft.ContainerService --wait 
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.KubernetesConfiguration --wait

  • An AKS cluster. This cluster must have been created with a managed identity, as cluster extensions won't work with service principal-based clusters. For new clusters created with az aks create, managed identity is configured by default. For existing service principal-based clusters, switch to manage identity by running az aks update with the --enable-managed-identity flag. For more information, see Use managed identity.

  • Azure CLI version >= 2.16.0 installed. We recommend using the latest version.

  • The latest version of the k8s-extension Azure CLI extensions. Install the extension by running the following command:

    az extension add --name k8s-extension

    If the extension is already installed, make sure you're running the latest version by using the following command:

    az extension update --name k8s-extension

Create extension instance

Create a new extension instance with k8s-extension create, passing in values for the mandatory parameters. This example command creates an Azure Machine Learning extension instance on your AKS cluster:

az k8s-extension create --name azureml --extension-type Microsoft.AzureML.Kubernetes --scope cluster --cluster-name <clusterName> --resource-group <resourceGroupName> --cluster-type managedClusters --configuration-settings enableInference=True allowInsecureConnections=True inferenceRouterServiceType=LoadBalancer

This example command creates a sample Kubernetes application (published on Marketplace) on your AKS cluster:

az k8s-extension create --name voteapp --extension-type Contoso.AzureVoteKubernetesAppTest --scope cluster --cluster-name <clusterName> --resource-group <resourceGroupName> --cluster-type managedClusters --plan-name testPlanID --plan-product testOfferID --plan-publisher testPublisherID --configuration-settings title=VoteAnimal value1=Cats value2=Dogs

Note

The Cluster Extensions service is unable to retain sensitive information for more than 48 hours. If the cluster extension agents don't have network connectivity for more than 48 hours and can't determine whether to create an extension on the cluster, then the extension transitions to Failed state. Once in Failed state, you'll need to run k8s-extension create again to create a fresh extension instance.

Required parameters

Parameter name Description
--name Name of the extension instance
--extension-type The type of extension you want to install on the cluster. For example: Microsoft.AzureML.Kubernetes
--cluster-name Name of the AKS cluster on which the extension instance has to be created
--resource-group The resource group containing the AKS cluster
--cluster-type The cluster type on which the extension instance has to be created. Specify managedClusters as it maps to AKS clusters

Optional parameters

Parameter name Description
--auto-upgrade-minor-version Boolean property that specifies if the extension minor version will be upgraded automatically or not. Default: true. If this parameter is set to true, you can't set version parameter, as the version will be dynamically updated. If set to false, extension won't be auto-upgraded even for patch versions.
--version Version of the extension to be installed (specific version to pin the extension instance to). Must not be supplied if auto-upgrade-minor-version is set to true.
--configuration-settings Settings that can be passed into the extension to control its functionality. Pass values as space separated key=value pairs after the parameter name. If this parameter is used in the command, then --configuration-settings-file can't be used in the same command.
--configuration-settings-file Path to the JSON file having key value pairs to be used for passing in configuration settings to the extension. If this parameter is used in the command, then --configuration-settings can't be used in the same command.
--configuration-protected-settings These settings are not retrievable using GET API calls or az k8s-extension show commands, and are thus used to pass in sensitive settings. Pass values as space separated key=value pairs after the parameter name. If this parameter is used in the command, then --configuration-protected-settings-file can't be used in the same command.
--configuration-protected-settings-file Path to the JSON file having key value pairs to be used for passing in sensitive settings to the extension. If this parameter is used in the command, then --configuration-protected-settings can't be used in the same command.
--scope Scope of installation for the extension - cluster or namespace
--release-namespace This parameter indicates the namespace within which the release is to be created. This parameter is only relevant if scope parameter is set to cluster.
--release-train Extension authors can publish versions in different release trains such as Stable, Preview, etc. If this parameter isn't set explicitly, Stable is used as default. This parameter can't be used when --auto-upgrade-minor-version parameter is set to false.
--target-namespace This parameter indicates the namespace within which the release will be created. Permission of the system account created for this extension instance will be restricted to this namespace. This parameter is only relevant if the scope parameter is set to namespace.
--plan-name Plan ID of the extension, found on the Marketplace page in the Azure portal under Usage Information + Support.
--plan-product Product ID of the extension, found on the Marketplace page in the Azure portal under Usage Information + Support. An example of this is the name of the ISV offering used.
--plan-publisher Publisher ID of the extension, found on the Marketplace page in the Azure portal under Usage Information + Support.

Show details of an extension instance

To view details of a currently installed extension instance, use k8s-extension show, passing in values for the mandatory parameters.

az k8s-extension show --name azureml --cluster-name <clusterName> --resource-group <resourceGroupName> --cluster-type managedClusters

List all extensions installed on the cluster

To list all extensions installed on a cluster, use k8s-extension list, passing in values for the mandatory parameters.

az k8s-extension list --cluster-name <clusterName> --resource-group <resourceGroupName> --cluster-type managedClusters

Update extension instance

Note

Refer to documentation for the specific extension type to understand the specific settings in --configuration-settings and --configuration-protected-settings that are able to be updated. For --configuration-protected-settings, all settings are expected to be provided, even if only one setting is being updated. If any of these settings are omitted, those settings will be considered obsolete and deleted.

To update an existing extension instance, use k8s-extension update, passing in values for the mandatory parameters. The following command updates the auto-upgrade setting for an Azure Machine Learning extension instance:

az k8s-extension update --name azureml --extension-type Microsoft.AzureML.Kubernetes --scope cluster --cluster-name <clusterName> --resource-group <resourceGroupName> --cluster-type managedClusters

Required parameters for update

Parameter name Description
--name Name of the extension instance
--extension-type The type of extension you want to install on the cluster. For example: Microsoft.AzureML.Kubernetes
--cluster-name Name of the AKS cluster on which the extension instance has to be created
--resource-group The resource group containing the AKS cluster
--cluster-type The cluster type on which the extension instance has to be created. Specify managedClusters as it maps to AKS clusters

If updating a Kubernetes application procured through Marketplace, the following parameters are also required:

Parameter name Description
--plan-name Plan ID of the extension, found on the Marketplace page in the Azure portal under Usage Information + Support.
--plan-product Product ID of the extension, found on the Marketplace page in the Azure portal under Usage Information + Support. An example of this is the name of the ISV offering used.
--plan-publisher Publisher ID of the extension, found on the Marketplace page in the Azure portal under Usage Information + Support.

Optional parameters for update

Parameter name Description
--auto-upgrade-minor-version Boolean property that specifies if the extension minor version will be upgraded automatically or not. Default: true. If this parameter is set to true, you cannot set version parameter, as the version will be dynamically updated. If set to false, extension won't be auto-upgraded even for patch versions.
--version Version of the extension to be installed (specific version to pin the extension instance to). Must not be supplied if auto-upgrade-minor-version is set to true.
--configuration-settings Settings that can be passed into the extension to control its functionality. Only the settings that require an update need to be provided. The provided settings would be replaced with the provided values. Pass values as space separated key=value pairs after the parameter name. If this parameter is used in the command, then --configuration-settings-file can't be used in the same command.
--configuration-settings-file Path to the JSON file having key value pairs to be used for passing in configuration settings to the extension. If this parameter is used in the command, then --configuration-settings can't be used in the same command.
--configuration-protected-settings These settings are not retrievable using GET API calls or az k8s-extension show commands, and are thus used to pass in sensitive settings. When you update a setting, all settings are expected to be specified. If some settings are omitted, those settings would be considered obsolete and deleted. Pass values as space separated key=value pairs after the parameter name. If this parameter is used in the command, then --configuration-protected-settings-file can't be used in the same command.
--configuration-protected-settings-file Path to the JSON file having key value pairs to be used for passing in sensitive settings to the extension. If this parameter is used in the command, then --configuration-protected-settings can't be used in the same command.
--scope Scope of installation for the extension - cluster or namespace
--release-train Extension authors can publish versions in different release trains such as Stable, Preview, etc. If this parameter isn't set explicitly, Stable is used as default. This parameter can't be used when autoUpgradeMinorVersion parameter is set to false.

Delete extension instance

To delete an extension instance on a cluster, use k8s-extension-delete, passing in values for the mandatory parameters.

az k8s-extension delete --name azureml --cluster-name <clusterName> --resource-group <resourceGroupName> --cluster-type managedClusters

Note

The Azure resource representing this extension gets deleted immediately. The Helm release on the cluster associated with this extension is only deleted when the agents running on the Kubernetes cluster have network connectivity and can reach out to Azure services again to fetch the desired state.
