To deploy the TKG management cluster from the Bootstap virtual machine, the following steps are performed:

Creation of Management Cluster configuration file

The management cluster can be deployed in two ways:

  1. Deploy Management Clusters with the Installer Interface
  2. Deploy Management Clusters from a Configuration File

The configuration file option allows for greater flexibility of configuration and faster/repeatable deployments.

The settings relevant for the deployment of the management cluster onto Azure are covered below.

CLUSTER_NAME: Specifies the name to give the cluster. CLUSTER_PLAN:

CLUSTER_NAME: tkg01-mgmt-dev
CLUSTER_PLAN: dev
CLUSTER_ANNOTATIONS: 'description:,location:'
CLUSTER_CIDR: 100.96.0.0/11

INFRASTRUCTURE_PROVIDER: specifies which platform the management cluster will be deployed onto. This needs to be set to azure.
