To set up the Azure environment for Che:

  1. Install the Azure command-line tool. For details, see Install the Azure CLI.

    For example, on macOS:

    $ brew update && brew install azure-cli

  2. Log in to Azure:

    $ az login

  3. Create an Azure group (to list the locations, use the az account list-locations command):

    $ az group create --name eclipseCheResourceGroup --location francecentral
{
  "id": "/subscriptions/ab0f7986-a280-481c-a47d-98fa45ff94ca/resourceGroups/eclipseCheResourceGroup",
  "location": "francecentral",
  "managedBy": null,
  "name": "eclipseCheResourceGroup",
  "properties": {
    "provisioningState": "Succeeded"
  },
  "tags": null,
  "type": null
}

  4. Create the cluster:

    $ az aks create --resource-group eclipseCheResourceGroup \
  --name eclipse-che --node-count 1 --enable-addons monitoring --generate-ssh-keys

  5. Configure kubectl:

    $ az aks get-credentials --name eclipse-che --resource-group eclipseCheResourceGroup
Merged "eclipse-che" as current context in /Users/benoitf/.kube/config

  6. Check the Kubernetes context:

    $ kubectl config current-context
eclipse-che

$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

    All the pods in the running state are displayed.
