Get kubernetes credentials from Azure - azure

I have created a Azure container Service
orchestratorType : Kubernetes
Group-Name : Mygrp
DNS : MyDNs
Now I have to install kubectl on m/c and service , pods too
For this I logged into my account from azure CLI
I need azure kubernetes credentials for kubectl and command for taht is
az acs kubernetes get-credentials --resource-group=<cluster-resource-group> --name=<cluster-name>
From above Info , I know cluster-resource-group is Mygrp (or I am wrong ?) but what will be cluster-name ?
Or their is something I have configure for this ?

We can find the --name via Azure Portal:

Issue while enabling prometheus monitoring in azure k8s

Getting error while configuring prometheus in azure kubernetes
I tried to reproduce the same issue in my environment and got the below results
I have the cluster and I am trying to configure the Prometheus in azure Kubernetes and I got the successful deployment
To verify the agent is deployed or not use the below commands
kubectl get ds <dep_name> --namespace=kube-system
kubectl get rrs --namespace=kube-system
This error getting because of you are using the service principal instead of managed identity
For enabling the managed identity please follow the below commands
AKS cluster with service principal first disable monitoring and then upgrade to managed identity, the azure public cloud is supporting for this migration
To get the log analytics workspace id
az aks show -g <rg_name> -n <cluster_name> | grep -i "logAnalyticsWorkspaceResourceID"
For disable the monitoring use the below command
az aks disable-addons -a monitoring -g <rg_name> -n <cluster_name>
Or I can get it on portal in the azure monitor logs
I have upgrade the cluster to system managed identity, use the below command to upgrade
az aks update -g <rg_name> -n <cluster_name> --enable-managed-identity
I have enable the monitoring addon with the managed identity authentication
az aks enable-addons -a monitoring --enable-msi-auth-for-monitoring -g <rg_name> -n <cluster_name> --workspace-resource-id <workspace_resource_id>

Where are kubelet logs in AKS stored?

I would like to view kubelet logs going back in time in Azure AKS. All I could find from Azure docs was how to ssh into the nodes and list the logs (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/kubelet-logs) but I feel like this has to be aggregated in Log Analytics somewhere right ?
However I wasn't able to find anything in Log Analytics for Kubernetes. Am I missing something ?
We have omsagent daemonset installed and Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces is enabled
Thanks :)
I tried to reproduce this issue in my environment and got below results:
I created resource group and VM by setting up the Subscription
az account set --subscription "subscription_name"
az group create --location westus resourcegroup_name
created the AKS Cluster with the parameter to enable the AKS Container Insights
The following Example will creates the Cluster with name AKSRG.
az aks create -g myResourceGroup -n resourceGroup_name --enable-managed-identity --node-count 1 --enable-addons monitoring --enable-msi-auth-for-monitoring --generate-ssh-keys
Here I have configured the kubectl to connect the kubernetes cluster with the get-credentials command
I have created the interactive shell connection to the node
using kubectl debug
kubectl debug node/pod_name -it --image=mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime-deps:6.0
I have used the below Command in after hash(#) tag
journalctl -u kubelet -o cat
To get the logs check the nodes and pods
We can use the below command to check the KUBE LOGS
kubectl logs pod_name

URL Request timeout error for the webfrontend example running Azure Kubernetes Service

I followed the example below and got to the end without error
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/quickstart-helm
except that a timeout error occurs for the external IP address below,
http://20.62.159.20/
Any idea?
It is caused by the docker registry credential. The doc does not show you how to set it for the ACR. There are two ways to solve it. One is that you can attach the ACR to the AKS cluster with the CLI command:
az aks update -g mygroup -n myaks --attach-acr myacr
Another way is to use a secret for the ACR. Here are the steps to create the secret with the service principal, you can also use the admin user and password of the ACR. Then change the file values.yaml like this:
imagePullSecrets:
- name: secretName

Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp: lookup <Server Location>: no such host

I'm beginning to build out a kubernetes cluster for our applications. We are using Azure for cloud services, so my K8s cluster is built using AKS. The AKs cluster was created using the portal interface for Azure. It has one node, and I am attempting to create a pod with a single container to deploy to the node. Where I am stuck currently is trying to connect to the AKS cluster from Powershell.
The steps I have taken are:
az login (followed by logging in)
az account set --subscription <subscription id>
az aks get-credentials --name <cluster name> --resource-group <resource group name>
kubectl get nodes
After entering the last line, I am left with the error: Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp: lookup : no such host
I've also gone down a few other rabbit holes found on SO and other forums, but quite honestly, I'm looking for a straight forward way to access my cluster before complicating it further.
Edit: So in the end, I deleted the resource I was working with and spun up a new version of AKS, and am now having no trouble connecting. Thanks for the suggestions though!
As of now, the aks run command adds a fourth option to connect to private clusters extending #Darius's three options posted earlier:
Use the AKS Run Command feature.
Below are some copy/paste excerpts of a simple command, and one that requires a file. It is possible to chain multiple commands with &&.
az aks command invoke \
--resource-group myResourceGroup \
--name myAKSCluster \
--command "kubectl get pods -n kube-system"
az aks command invoke \
--resource-group myResourceGroup \
--name myAKSCluster \
--command "kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml -n default" \
--file deployment.yaml
In case you get a (ResourceGroupNotFound) error, try adding the subscription, too
az aks command invoke \
--resource-group myResourceGroup \
--name myAKSCluster \
--subscription <subscription> \
--command "kubectl get pods -n kube-system"
You can also configure the default subscription:
az account set -s <subscription>
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp: lookup : no such host
The error is coming because of private cluster. The Private Cluster option is enabled while creating the AKS cluster. You need to disable this option.
Kubectl is a kubernetes control client. It is an external connectivity provider to connect with our kubernetes cluster. We can't connect with the private cluster externally.
Believe me.... just disable the private cluster options And see your success. Thank you.
Note: We can't disable this option after the cluster creation. you need to delete the cluster and again reform it.
Posting this as Community Wiki for better visibility.
Solution provided by OP:
Delete resource and spun up a new version of AKS.
For details, you can check docs Create a resource group, Create AKS cluster and resource create.
Next try worth to try:
kubectl config use-context <cluster-name>
as it was proposed in similar Github issue.
Gaurav's answer pretty much sums it up. In fact you can refer to the documentation which states that
The API server endpoint has no public IP address. To manage the API
server, you'll need to use a VM that has access to the AKS cluster's
Azure Virtual Network (VNet). There are several options for
establishing network connectivity to the private cluster.
To connect to a private cluster, there are only 3 methods:
Create a VM in the same Azure Virtual Network (VNet) as the AKS cluster.
Use a VM in a separate network and set up Virtual network peering. See the section below for more information on this option.
Use an Express Route or VPN connection.
It is more convenient to use Az module from desktop Powershell for any management operation with Azure portal. Microsoft adds a lot of new cmdlets for managing AKS and Service Fabric clusters.
Please take a look Az.Aks
In your case:
Connect-AzAccount
Get-AzAksNodePool
I was also facing the issue, I'm using a private cluster and I have a machine (bastion) in a different vnet with peering enabled but still, I was not able to connect the cluster (I was able to SSH and telnet to the machine).
Then I added a virtual network link in the private DNS zone for the vnet where the bastion host resides. It worked for me, I'm able to access the cluster.
When using a private cluster, the kubernetes api-endpoint is only accessible on the cluster's VNet. Connecting via VPN unfortunately does not work painlessly since the azure private DNS will not be available via for VPN clients (yet).
However, it is possible to connect kubectl directly to the IP-address of the api-endpoint, but that will require you to ignore certificate errors since we are using the IP directly.
If you edit your .kube/config and change the server address to the IP number. Then call kubectl with something like this
kubectl get all --all-namespaces --insecure-skip-tls-verify
Usually, this is all that is required to connect. Check whether firewall is not blocking any traffic. Also, verify subscription id and other identifiers again and make sure you are using the correct values. If the issue still persists, I recommend you ask azure support to help you out.
I had the same issues when running the kubectl command from jenkins. For me it was the permission issues of ~/.kube/config I gave it access to jenkins as well which solved the issue for me.
You can run kubectl commands on a private AKS cluster using az aks command invoke. Refer to this for more info.
As for why you might want to run private AKS clusters, read this
You can simply append "--admin" to the query as seen below.
az aks get-credentials --name <cluster name> --resource-group <resource group name> --admin
I also hit this after restarting my kubernetes cluster, but it turned out I was just not waiting long enough, after about 10 minutes the "kubectrl" commands started working again.
If you are using AWS with kops then this might help you
mkdir autoscaler
cd autoscaler/
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler.git
create a file called ig-policy.json with the contents
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingGroups",
"autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingInstances",
"autoscaling:DescribeLaunchConfigurations",
"autoscaling:SetDesiredCapacity",
"autoscaling:TerminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroup"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
Then you need to create iam policy
aws iam create-policy --policy-name ig-policy --policy-document file://ig-policy.json
And attach the above create iam policy with the user id to the cluster name
aws iam attach-role-policy --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::005935423478650:policy/ig-policy --role-name nodes.testing.k8s.local
Then update the cluster
kops update cluster testing.k8s.local --yes
Then run
kops rolling-update cluster
Creating private not easy journey, but it has beautiful views so I encourage anyone to get there.
I did it all in terraform, so some names can be little different than they are in portal/azure CLI.
And this is how I did it:
Private DNS zone, with name as privatelink.westeurope.azmk8s.io
VNET where AKS will be placed (let's call it vnet-access)
Virtual network from which you want to access AKS
Private AKS (private_dns_zone_id set to dns zone form first point)
Virtual network link (in private DNS zone, pointing to VNET from point 3)
Peering between networks from points 2 and 3.
This should allow any machine in vnet-access to firstly resolve DNS, and then - to access cluster...
Yet... if you want to get there from your local machine, this is another setup. Fortunately Microsoft have such tutorial here
If you find that something is still not working - put the error in comment and I'll try to adapt my answer to cover this.
For me I had this issue when I was trying to connect a new Linux user to my Elastic Kubernetes Cluster in AWS.
I setup a new user called jenkins-user, then I tried to run the command below to get pods:
kubectl get pods
And then I will run into the error below:
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp: lookup 23343445ADFEHGROGMFDFMG.sk1.eu-east-2.eks.amazonaws.com on 198.74.83.506:53: no such host
Here's how I solved it:
The issue was because I had not set the context for the Kubernetes cluster in the kube config file of the new linux user (jenkins-user).
All I had to do was either first install the aws-cli for this new user (install it into the home directory of this new user). And then run the command aws configure to configure the necessary credentials. Although, since I already had the aws-cli setup for the other users on the Linux system I simply copied the ~/.aws directory from an already existing user to the jenkins-user home directory using the command:
sudo cp -R /home/existing-user/.aws/ /home/jenkins-user/
Next, I had to create a context for the Kubernetes configuration which will create a new ~/.kube/config file for the jenkins-user using the command below:
aws eks --region my-aws-region update-kubeconfig --name my-cluster-name
Next, I checked the kube config file to confirm that my context has been added using the command:
sudo nano /.kube/config
This time when I ran the command below, it was successful:
kubectl get pods
Resources: Create a kubeconfig for Amazon EKS
I faced the same issue and resolved it by deleting .kube folder which was under the following path C:\Users\<your_username> and then restarting kubernetes cluster.

AKS - Error from server (Forbidden): User cannot create resource "namespaces" in API group "" at the cluster scope

I am trying to use the K8S through Azure AKS.
But when doing a simple command like: kubectl create namespace airflow
I get the following error message:
Error from server (Forbidden): namespaces is forbidden: User
"xxx" cannot create resource "namespaces" in API
group "" at the cluster scope
I have already commanded az aks get-credentials to connect to the cluster and then I try to create the namespace but without success.
In my case, this works when I use this command:
az aks get-credentials --resource-group <RESOURCE GROUP NAME> --name <AKS Cluster Name> --admin
You dont have sufficient privileges to create namespace in the k8s cluster though you have access to the cluster
Check the below command to know if you have permission to create namespace
# kubectl auth can-i create namespace
yes
Make sure your /.kube/config has been configured with correct user name and credentials. Then run the following command to set the context:
Kubectl config set-context —user=xx yourclustername
