Preparing the lab infrastructure for Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes
This book is designed to provide a complete knowledge and hands-on blend, that is, you will see a lot of implementation steps and example deployments. In order to prepare for that, please follow the steps from Chapter 1, Azure Arc Overview, to prepare your Azure accounts in advance.
In this section, we'll create the required Azure infrastructure to simulate the on-premises environments for Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes. If you have an on-premises Kubernetes cluster, you may use that as well rather than hosting everything in Azure.
Getting the Kubernetes environment ready
In this section, we will create an Azure Kubernetes service cluster to try out the Azure Arc Kubernetes offerings. Alternatively, you can use any other Kubernetes cluster hosted outside Azure as well, such as minikube and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
Note
Please note that since Azure Kubernetes services can be directly managed...
