# Cloud Infrastructure Provisioning - Azure
This lab will walk you through provisioning the compute instances required for running a H/A Kubernetes cluster. A total of 10 virtual machines will be created.

The guide assumes you'll be creating resources in the `West Us` region as a single Azure Resource Manager resource group.


> All machines will be provisioned with fixed private IP addresses to simplify the bootstrap process.

The cluster VNs are only accessible via a jump box (a VM with publicly accessible ssh endpoint). The workers machines are exposed via external load balancer that carries both an public IP and public FQDN. 


## Variables

Change the following values as needed. 

```
# dns for jumpbox is <jumpboxDnsLabel>.westus.cloudapp.azure.com
jumpboxDnsLabel="the-hard-way-jumpbox" 
```

```
# dns for workers is <workersDnsLabel>.westus.cloudapp.azure.com
workersDnsLabel="the-hard-way" 
```

```
#storage account used by jumpbox + controllers + Etcd VMs
controlPlaneStorageAccount="thehardwaycsa"
```

```
#storage account used by workers VMs
workersStorageAccount="thehardwaywsa"
```

```
# all vms are using ubunut 16.4 LTS 
imageUrn="Canonical:UbuntuServer:16.04.0-LTS:latest"
```

## Create Resource Group

```
azure group create \
	--name the-hard-way \
	--location "West Us"
```

## Networking

### Create Routing Table

```
azure network route-table create \
	--resource-group the-hard-way \
	--name the-hard-way-rtable \
	--location "West Us"
```

### Create Network Security Group

```
azure network nsg create \
	--resource-group the-hard-way \
	--name the-hard-way-nsg \
	--location "West Us"
```


Create NSG rule allowing SSH to the jumpbox

```
azure network nsg rule create \
	--resource-group the-hard-way \
	--nsg-name the-hard-way-nsg \
	--name allow-ssh-jumpbox \
	--protocol tcp \
	--access allow  \
	--destination-address-prefix 10.0.0.5/32 \
	--destination-port-range 22 \
	--priority 100 \

	--resource-group the-hard-way \
	--name the-hard-way-net \
	--address-prefixes 10.0.0.0/8 \
	--location "West Us"
```

Create subnets

```
# Azure UDR routes traffic subnet's eggress
# workers & pod ips have to be 2 separate subnets

azure network vnet subnet create \
	--resource-group the-hard-way \
	--vnet-name the-hard-way-net \

```
azure network vnet subnet set \
	--resource-group the-hard-way \
	--vnet-name the-hard-way-net \
	--name kubernetes-mgmt \
	--network-security-group-name the-hard-way-nsg \

## Using The Jumpbox

### Connect to Jumpbox 

```
ssh -i ./keys/cluster \
	thehardway@$jumpboxDnsLabel.westus.cloudapp.azure.com
```

### Copy the cluster private key to jumpbox 

```
scp -i ./keys/cluster \
	./keys/cluster \
	thehardway@$jumpboxDnsLabel.westus.cloudapp.azure.com:~/cluster
```

### Connecting to Other VMs

```
# on the jumpbox 
#connect to the second controller

ssh -i ./cluster \
	thehardway@10.240.0.31  

#or
ssh -i ./cluster \
	thehardway@controller-1  

```
