Provision Azure Kubernetes ACS cluster using Azure 2.0 CLI

Question

I'm trying to provision an Azure ACS Kubernetes cluster using Windows nodes. The Azure 2.0 CLI worked fine creating a Linux cluster, but it failed when creating a Windows cluster.

Here is the command I executed:

***@DAVEPC:~$ az acs create -n RMA-KB-01 -d rmakb -g RG-KB-01 --generate-ssh-keys --orchestrator-type kubernetes --windows --admin-password=*****

This is the error:

At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-debug for usage details. {   "status": "Failed",   "error": {
    "code": "ResourceDeploymentFailure",
    "message": "The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.",
    "details": [

      }
    ]   } }  Correlation ID: c69bc7a4-2d0a-431b-ac7e-f98894110eea

I've just also tried this process using the Azure Portal and got the same error. Is the Windows Container Kubernetes preview bugged?

Answer 1

It appears that its a bug, there is no such VM Image:

C:\> Get-AzureRmVMImage -Location westeurope -PublisherName $pubName -Offer $offerName `
      -Skus 2016-Datacenter-with-Containers | select version

Version

2016.127.20170406
2016.127.20170411
2016.127.20170510

I've reproduced your error. You should raise an issue here .

Answer 2

Maybe I am missing something, but I think you should use az a k s instead of az acs. Nice blog about it here .

ACS is pretty deprecated service (it was Azure offering for multi-containers orchestrators), and now it replaced by AKS.
