+# Cloud Infrastructure Provisioning - Microsoft Azure
+
+This lab will walk you through provisioning the compute instances required for running a H/A Kubernetes cluster. A total of 6 virtual machines will be created.
+
+The guide assumes you've installed the [Azure CLI 2.0](https://github.com/azure/azure-cli#installation), and will be creating resources in the `westus` region, within a resource group named `kubernetes`. To create this resource group, simply run the following command:
+
+```shell
+az group create -n kubernetes -l westus
+```
+
+After completing this guide you should have the following compute instances:
+
+```shell
+az vm list --query "[].{name:name,provisioningState:provisioningState}"
+```
+
+```shell
+Name         ProvisioningState
+-----------  -------------------
+controller0  Succeeded
+controller1  Succeeded
+controller2  Succeeded
+worker0      Succeeded
+worker1      Succeeded
+worker2      Succeeded
+```
+
+> All machines will be provisioned with fixed private IP addresses to simplify the bootstrap process.
+
+To make our Kubernetes control plane remotely accessible, a public IP address will be provisioned and assigned to a load balancer that will sit in front of the 3 Kubernetes controllers.
+
+## Networking
+
+Create a virtual network and subnet for the Kubernetes cluster: 
+
+```shell
+az network vnet create -g kubernetes \
+  -n kubernetes-vnet \
+  --address-prefix 10.240.0.0/16 \
+  --subnet-name kubernetes-subnet
+```
+
+### Firewall Rules
+
+Create a firewall ("network security group"), assign it to the subnet, and configure it to allow the necessary incoming traffic:
+
+```shell
+az network nsg create -g kubernetes -n kubernetes-nsg
+```
+
+```shell
+az network vnet subnet update -g kubernetes \
+  -n kubernetes-subnet \
+  --vnet-name kubernetes-vnet \
+  --network-security-group kubernetes-nsg
+```
+
+```shell
+az network nsg rule create -g kubernetes \
+  -n kubernetes-allow-ssh \
+  --access allow \
+  --destination-address-prefix '*' \
+  --destination-port-range 22 \
+  --direction inbound \
+  --nsg-name kubernetes-nsg \
+  --protocol tcp \
+  --source-address-prefix '*' \
+  --source-port-range '*' \
+  --priority 1000
+```
+
+```shell
+az network nsg rule create -g kubernetes \
+  -n kubernetes-allow-api-server \
+  --access allow \
+  --destination-address-prefix '*' \
+  --destination-port-range 6443 \
+  --direction inbound \
+  --nsg-name kubernetes-nsg \
+  --protocol tcp \
+  --source-address-prefix '*' \
+  --source-port-range '*' \
+  --priority 1001
+```
+
+```shell
+az network nsg rule list -g kubernetes --nsg-name kubernetes-nsg --query "[].{Name:name, Port:destinationPortRange}"
+```
+
+```
+Name                     Port
+---------------------  ------
+kube-allow-ssh             22
+kube-allow-api-server    6443
+```
+
+### Kubernetes Public Address
+
+Create a public IP address that will be used by remote clients to connect to the Kubernetes control plane:
+
+```shell
+az network lb create -g kubernetes \
+  -n kubernetes-lb \
+  --backend-pool-name kubernetes-lb-pool \
+  --public-ip-address kubernetes-pip \
+  --public-ip-address-allocation static
+```
+
+## Provision Virtual Machines
+
+All the VMs in this lab will be provisioned using Ubuntu 16.04 mainly because it runs a newish Linux Kernel that has good support for Docker.
+
+### Virtual Machines
+
+#### Kubernetes Controllers
+
+```shell
+az vm availability-set create -g kubernetes -n controller-as
+```
+
+```shell
+for num in {0..2}; do
+    echo "[Controller ${num}] Creating public IP..."
+    az network public-ip create -n controller${num}-pip -g kubernetes > /dev/null
+
+    echo "[Controller ${num}] Creating NIC..."
+    az network nic create -g kubernetes \
+        -n controller${num}-nic \
+        --private-ip-address 10.240.0.1${num} \
+        --public-ip-address controller${num}-pip \
+        --vnet kubernetes-vnet \
+        --subnet kubernetes-subnet \
+        --ip-forwarding \
+        --lb-name kubernetes-lb \
+        --lb-address-pools kubernetes-lb-pool > /dev/null
+
+    echo "[Controller ${num}] Creating VM..."
+    az vm create -g kubernetes \
+        -n controller${num} \
+        --image Canonical:UbuntuServer:16.04.0-LTS:16.04.201609210 \
+        --nics controller${num}-nic \
+        --availability-set controller-as \
+        --nsg '' > /dev/null
+done
+```
+
+#### Kubernetes Workers
+
+```shell
+az vm availability-set create -g kubernetes -n worker-as
+```
+
+```shell
+for num in {0..2}; do
+    echo "[Worker ${num}] Creating public IP..."
+    az network public-ip create -n worker${num}-pip -g kubernetes > /dev/null
+
+    echo "[Worker ${num}] Creating NIC..."
+    az network nic create -g kubernetes \
+        -n worker${num}-nic \
+        --private-ip-address 10.240.0.2${num} \
+        --public-ip-address worker${num}-pip \
+        --vnet kubernetes-vnet \
+        --subnet kubernetes-subnet \
+        --ip-forwarding > /dev/null
+
+    echo "[Worker ${num}] Creating VM..."
+    az vm create -g kubernetes \
+        -n worker${num} \
+        --image Canonical:UbuntuServer:16.04.0-LTS:16.04.201609210 \
+        --nics worker${num}-nic \
+        --availability-set worker-as \
+        --nsg '' > /dev/null
+done
+```
