Description

Registers AKS hybrid with Azure.

Examples

Register AKS hybrid using a subscription ID and resource group name

Set-AksHciRegistration -subscriptionId aaaa0a0a-bb1b-cc2c-dd3d-eeeeee4e4e4e -resourceGroupName myresourcegroup

Register with a device login or while running in a headless shell

Set-AksHciRegistration -subscriptionId myazuresubscription -resourceGroupName myresourcegroup -UseDeviceAuthentication

Register AKS hybrid using a service principal

If you do not have access to a subscription on which you're an "Owner", you can register your AKS host to Azure for billing using a service principal.

Log in to Azure using the Connect-AzAccount PowerShell command:

Connect-AzAccount

Set the subscription you want to use to register your AKS host for billing as the default subscription by running the Set-AzContext command.

Set-AzContext -Subscription myAzureSubscription

Verify that your login context is correct by running the Get-AzContext PowerShell command. Verify that the subscription, tenant, and account are what you want to use to register your AKS host for billing.

Get-AzContext
Name                                     Account                      SubscriptionName             Environment                  TenantId
----                                     -------                      ----------------             -----------                  --------
myAzureSubscription (92391anf-...        user@contoso.com             myAzureSubscription          AzureCloud                   xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx

Retreive your tenant ID.

$tenant = (Get-AzContext).Tenant.Id

Create a service principal by running the New-AzADServicePrincipal PowerShell command. This command creates a service principal with the "Contributor" role and sets the scope at a subscription level. For more information on creating service principals, visit create an Azure service principal with Azure PowerShell.

$sp = New-AzADServicePrincipal -Role "Contributor" -Scope "/subscriptions/myazuresubscription"

Retrieve the password for the service principal by running the following command:

$secret = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($sp.Secret))
Write-Host "Application ID: $($sp.ApplicationId)"
Write-Host "App Secret: $secret"

From the output above, you now have the application ID and the secret available when deploying AKS hybrid. You should take a note of these items and store them safely. Now that you have the application ID and secret available, in the Azure portal, under Subscriptions, Access Control, and then Role Assignments, you should see your new service principal.

Store your service principal credentials (the application ID and secret) with Get-Credential, then set the registration.

$credential = Get-Credential
Set-AksHciRegistration -SubscriptionId myazuresubscription -ResourceGroupName myresourcegroup -TenantId $tenant -Credential $credential
