Tutorial: Enable Azure Container Apps on Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes (Preview)

  • บทความ

With Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters, you can create a Container Apps enabled custom location in your on-premises or cloud Kubernetes cluster to deploy your Azure Container Apps applications as you would any other region.

This tutorial will show you how to enable Azure Container Apps on your Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster. In this tutorial you will:

  • Create a connected cluster.
  • Create a Log Analytics workspace.
  • Install the Container Apps extension.
  • Create a custom location.
  • Create the Azure Container Apps connected environment.

Note

During the preview, Azure Container Apps on Arc are not supported in production configurations. This article provides an example configuration for evaluation purposes only.

This tutorial uses Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to provide concrete instructions for setting up an environment from scratch. However, for a production workload, you may not want to enable Azure Arc on an AKS cluster as it is already managed in Azure.

Prerequisites

Setup

Install the following Azure CLI extensions.

az extension add --name connectedk8s --upgrade --yes
az extension add --name k8s-extension --upgrade --yes
az extension add --name customlocation --upgrade --yes
az extension add --name containerapp  --upgrade --yes

Register the required namespaces.

az provider register --namespace Microsoft.ExtendedLocation --wait
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.KubernetesConfiguration --wait
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.App --wait
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.OperationalInsights --wait

Set environment variables based on your Kubernetes cluster deployment.

GROUP_NAME="my-arc-cluster-group"
AKS_CLUSTER_GROUP_NAME="my-aks-cluster-group"
AKS_NAME="my-aks-cluster"
LOCATION="eastus"

Create a connected cluster

The following steps help you get started understanding the service, but for production deployments, they should be viewed as illustrative, not prescriptive. See Quickstart: Connect an existing Kubernetes cluster to Azure Arc for general instructions on creating an Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster.

  1. Create a cluster in Azure Kubernetes Service.

    az group create --name $AKS_CLUSTER_GROUP_NAME --location $LOCATION
az aks create \
   --resource-group $AKS_CLUSTER_GROUP_NAME \
   --name $AKS_NAME \
   --enable-aad \
   --generate-ssh-keys

  2. Get the kubeconfig file and test your connection to the cluster. By default, the kubeconfig file is saved to ~/.kube/config.

    az aks get-credentials --resource-group $AKS_CLUSTER_GROUP_NAME --name $AKS_NAME --admin

kubectl get ns

  3. Create a resource group to contain your Azure Arc resources.

    az group create --name $GROUP_NAME --location $LOCATION

  4. Connect the cluster you created to Azure Arc.

    CLUSTER_NAME="${GROUP_NAME}-cluster" # Name of the connected cluster resource

az connectedk8s connect --resource-group $GROUP_NAME --name $CLUSTER_NAME

  5. Validate the connection with the following command. It should show the provisioningState property as Succeeded. If not, run the command again after a minute.

    az connectedk8s show --resource-group $GROUP_NAME --name $CLUSTER_NAME

Create a Log Analytics workspace

A Log Analytics workspace provides access to logs for Container Apps applications running in the Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster. A Log Analytics workspace is optional, but recommended.

  1. Create a Log Analytics workspace.

    WORKSPACE_NAME="$GROUP_NAME-workspace" # Name of the Log Analytics workspace

az monitor log-analytics workspace create \
    --resource-group $GROUP_NAME \
    --workspace-name $WORKSPACE_NAME

  2. Run the following commands to get the encoded workspace ID and shared key for an existing Log Analytics workspace. You need them in the next step.

    LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_ID=$(az monitor log-analytics workspace show \
    --resource-group $GROUP_NAME \
    --workspace-name $WORKSPACE_NAME \
    --query customerId \
    --output tsv)
LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_ID_ENC=$(printf %s $LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_ID | base64 -w0) # Needed for the next step
LOG_ANALYTICS_KEY=$(az monitor log-analytics workspace get-shared-keys \
    --resource-group $GROUP_NAME \
    --workspace-name $WORKSPACE_NAME \
    --query primarySharedKey \
    --output tsv)
LOG_ANALYTICS_KEY_ENC=$(printf %s $LOG_ANALYTICS_KEY | base64 -w0) # Needed for the next step

Install the Container Apps extension

Important

If deploying onto AKS-HCI ensure that you have setup HAProxy or a custom load balancer before attempting to install the extension.

  1. Set the following environment variables to the desired name of the Container Apps extension, the cluster namespace in which resources should be provisioned, and the name for the Azure Container Apps connected environment. Choose a unique name for <connected-environment-name>. The connected environment name will be part of the domain name for app you'll create in the Azure Container Apps connected environment.

    EXTENSION_NAME="appenv-ext"
NAMESPACE="appplat-ns"
CONNECTED_ENVIRONMENT_NAME="<connected-environment-name>"

  2. Install the Container Apps extension to your Azure Arc-connected cluster with Log Analytics enabled. Log Analytics can't be added to the extension later.

    az k8s-extension create \
    --resource-group $GROUP_NAME \
    --name $EXTENSION_NAME \
    --cluster-type connectedClusters \
    --cluster-name $CLUSTER_NAME \
    --extension-type 'Microsoft.App.Environment' \
    --release-train stable \
    --auto-upgrade-minor-version true \
    --scope cluster \
    --release-namespace $NAMESPACE \
    --configuration-settings "Microsoft.CustomLocation.ServiceAccount=default" \
    --configuration-settings "appsNamespace=${NAMESPACE}" \
    --configuration-settings "clusterName=${CONNECTED_ENVIRONMENT_NAME}" \
    --configuration-settings "envoy.annotations.service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-resource-group=${AKS_CLUSTER_GROUP_NAME}" \
    --configuration-settings "logProcessor.appLogs.destination=log-analytics" \
    --configuration-protected-settings "logProcessor.appLogs.logAnalyticsConfig.customerId=${LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_ID_ENC}" \
    --configuration-protected-settings "logProcessor.appLogs.logAnalyticsConfig.sharedKey=${LOG_ANALYTICS_KEY_ENC}"

    Note

    To install the extension without Log Analytics integration, remove the last three --configuration-settings parameters from the command.

    The following table describes the various --configuration-settings parameters when running the command:

    Parameter Description
    Microsoft.CustomLocation.ServiceAccount The service account created for the custom location. It's recommended that it 's set to the value default.
    appsNamespace The namespace used to create the app definitions and revisions. It must match that of the extension release namespace.
    clusterName The name of the Container Apps extension Kubernetes environment that will be created against this extension.
    logProcessor.appLogs.destination Optional. Destination for application logs. Accepts log-analytics or none, choosing none disables platform logs.
    logProcessor.appLogs.logAnalyticsConfig.customerId Required only when logProcessor.appLogs.destination is set to log-analytics. The base64-encoded Log analytics workspace ID. This parameter should be configured as a protected setting.
    logProcessor.appLogs.logAnalyticsConfig.sharedKey Required only when logProcessor.appLogs.destination is set to log-analytics. The base64-encoded Log analytics workspace shared key. This parameter should be configured as a protected setting.
    envoy.annotations.service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-resource-group The name of the resource group in which the Azure Kubernetes Service cluster resides. Valid and required only when the underlying cluster is Azure Kubernetes Service.

  3. Save the id property of the Container Apps extension for later.

    EXTENSION_ID=$(az k8s-extension show \
    --cluster-type connectedClusters \
    --cluster-name $CLUSTER_NAME \
    --resource-group $GROUP_NAME \
    --name $EXTENSION_NAME \
    --query id \
    --output tsv)

  4. Wait for the extension to fully install before proceeding. You can have your terminal session wait until it completes by running the following command:

    az resource wait --ids $EXTENSION_ID --custom "properties.provisioningState!='Pending'" --api-version "2020-07-01-preview"

You can use kubectl to see the pods that have been created in your Kubernetes cluster:

kubectl get pods -n $NAMESPACE

To learn more about these pods and their role in the system, see Azure Arc overview.

Create a custom location

The custom location is an Azure location that you assign to the Azure Container Apps connected environment.

  1. Set the following environment variables to the desired name of the custom location and for the ID of the Azure Arc-connected cluster.

    CUSTOM_LOCATION_NAME="my-custom-location" # Name of the custom location
CONNECTED_CLUSTER_ID=$(az connectedk8s show --resource-group $GROUP_NAME --name $CLUSTER_NAME --query id --output tsv)

  2. Create the custom location:

    az customlocation create \
    --resource-group $GROUP_NAME \
    --name $CUSTOM_LOCATION_NAME \
    --host-resource-id $CONNECTED_CLUSTER_ID \
    --namespace $NAMESPACE \
    --cluster-extension-ids $EXTENSION_ID

    Note

    If you experience issues creating a custom location on your cluster, you may need to enable the custom location feature on your cluster. This is required if logged into the CLI using a Service Principal or if you are logged in with a Microsoft Entra user with restricted permissions on the cluster resource.

  3. Validate that the custom location is successfully created with the following command. The output should show the provisioningState property as Succeeded. If not, rerun the command after a minute.

    az customlocation show --resource-group $GROUP_NAME --name $CUSTOM_LOCATION_NAME

  4. Save the custom location ID for the next step.

    CUSTOM_LOCATION_ID=$(az customlocation show \
    --resource-group $GROUP_NAME \
    --name $CUSTOM_LOCATION_NAME \
    --query id \
    --output tsv)

Create the Azure Container Apps connected environment

Before you can start creating apps in the custom location, you need an Azure Container Apps connected environment.

  1. Create the Container Apps connected environment:

    az containerapp connected-env create \
    --resource-group $GROUP_NAME \
    --name $CONNECTED_ENVIRONMENT_NAME \
    --custom-location $CUSTOM_LOCATION_ID \
    --location $LOCATION

  2. Validate that the Container Apps connected environment is successfully created with the following command. The output should show the provisioningState property as Succeeded. If not, run it again after a minute.

    az containerapp connected-env show --resource-group $GROUP_NAME --name $CONNECTED_ENVIRONMENT_NAME
