Azure Aks

Azure AKS

Manage Azure Kubernetes Service clusters.

List clusters

az aks list --query '[].{Name:name,ResourceGroup:resourceGroup,K8sVersion:kubernetesVersion,Nodes:agentPoolProfiles[0].count,Status:provisioningState}' -o table

Get credentials (configure kubectl)

az aks get-credentials --name my-cluster --resource-group my-rg --overwrite-existing
echo "kubectl context configured"

Show cluster details

az aks show --name my-cluster --resource-group my-rg | jq '{name, kubernetesVersion, provisioningState, fqdn, nodeResourceGroup, networkProfile: .networkProfile.networkPlugin}'

List node pools

az aks nodepool list --cluster-name my-cluster --resource-group my-rg --query '[].{Name:name,VmSize:vmSize,Count:count,Mode:mode,OsType:osType}' -o table

Scale node pool

az aks nodepool scale --cluster-name my-cluster --resource-group my-rg --name nodepool1 --node-count 5

Upgrade cluster

az aks get-upgrades --name my-cluster --resource-group my-rg | jq '{currentVersion: .controlPlaneProfile.kubernetesVersion, upgrades: .controlPlaneProfile.upgrades[].kubernetesVersion}'

az aks upgrade --name my-cluster --resource-group my-rg --kubernetes-version 1.28.0

Start / stop cluster

az aks start --name my-cluster --resource-group my-rg

az aks stop --name my-cluster --resource-group my-rg

Notes

• After get-credentials, use kubectl for workload management.
• Confirm before scaling, upgrading, or stopping clusters.
