How to install AKS with Calico enabled - azure

Question

This definition clearly mentions you can use networkPolicy property as part of the networkProfile and set it to Calico, but that doesnt work. AKS creating just times out with all the nodes being in Not Ready state.

Answer 1

you need enable underlying provider feature:
az feature list --query "[?contains(name, 'Container')].{name:name, type:type}" # example to list all features
az feature register --name EnableNetworkPolicy --namespace Microsoft.ContainerService
az provider register -n Microsoft.ContainerService
after that you can just use REST API\ARM Template to create AKS:
{
"location": "location1",
"tags": {
"tier": "production",
"archv2": ""
},
"properties": {
"kubernetesVersion": "1.12.4", // has to be 1.12.x, 1.11.x doesnt support calico AFAIK
"dnsPrefix": "dnsprefix1",
"agentPoolProfiles": [
{
"name": "nodepool1",
"count": 3,
"vmSize": "Standard_DS1_v2",
"osType": "Linux"
}
],
"linuxProfile": {
"adminUsername": "azureuser",
"ssh": {
"publicKeys": [
{
"keyData": "keydata"
}
]
}
},
"servicePrincipalProfile": {
"clientId": "clientid",
"secret": "secret"
},
"addonProfiles": {},
"enableRBAC": false,
"networkProfile": {
"networkPlugin": "azure",
"networkPolicy": "calico", // set policy here
"serviceCidr": "xxx",
"dnsServiceIP": "yyy",
"dockerBridgeCidr": "zzz"
}
}
}
ps.
Unfortunately, helm doesnt seem to work at the time of writing (I suspect this is because kubectl port-forward which helm relies on doesnt work as well ).
