Before you start

Init aks configuration

Before you can use aks you need to set up a application config in your home directory. In order to do so you can use the following command. This will create an empty config file where aks will store its configuration.

aks config init

Add context to configuration

At second you need to configure your contexts. With this aks can determine which parameters should be used dependent on your current kubectl context.

To add a new context in your configuration you can use the following command.

aks context add {cluster-name} {resource-group} {subscription-id}

You can add multiple contexts to your configuration. If the cluster name matches the output of kubectl config current-context, aks can automatically use the correct settings for cluster name, resource group and its corresponding subscription.

List configured contexts

If you want to know, which context is already added to your aks configuration you can use the following command.

aks context list

AKS authorized IP ranges

The main purpose of aks is managing the authorized IP ranges of AKS clusters. Therefore it provides the following commands which you can use to modify the authorized ip ranges of a cluster which matches your currrent kubectl context.

Usage: aks ip <command>

Commands:
  aks ip add-current     Adds your current public ip to AKS authorized ip-ranges
  aks ip add <ip>        Adds <ip> to AKS authorized ip-ranges
  aks ip clear-range     Clears existing authorized ip-range of AKS
  aks ip remove-current  Removes current public ip from AKS authorized ip-ranges if exists
  aks ip remove <ip>     Removes <ip> from AKS authorized ip-ranges
  aks ip show-current    Prints your current public ip address
  aks ip show-range      Prints current authorized ip-range of AKS

Options:
  --version  Show version
  --help     Show help

All "current" commands will determine you current public IP address and modify the IP range accordingly.
