# Azure

### Prepare Azure Environment

For provisioning Kubernetes clusters with the [Azure cloud provider](https://github.com/kubermatic/machine-controller/tree/master/pkg/cloudprovider/provider/azure) Kubermatic needs a service account with (at least) the Azure role `Contributor`. Please follow the following steps to create a matching service account.

### Login to Azure and Get Basic Information

Login to Azure with [Azure CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/?view=azure-cli-latest) `az`.

This command will open in your default browser a window where you can authenticate. After you succefully logged in get your subscription ID.

```
az account show --query id -o json

********-****-****-****-************
```

Get your Tenant ID

```
az account show --query tenantId -o json

********-****-****-****-************
```

create a new app with

```
az ad sp create-for-rbac --role="Contributor" --scopes="/subscriptions/********-****-****-****-************"

Retrying role assignment creation: 1/36
Retrying role assignment creation: 2/36
Retrying role assignment creation: 3/36
{
  "appId": "********-****-****-****-************",
  "displayName": "azure-cli-2018-11-25-08-01-39",
  "name": "http://azure-cli-2018-11-25-08-01-39",
  "password": "********-****-****-****-************",
  "tenant": "********-****-****-****-************"
}
```

Enter provider credentials using the values from step “Prepare Azure Environment” into Kubermatic Dashboard:

* `Client ID`: Take the value of `appId`
* `Client Secret`: Take the value of `password`
* `Tenant ID`: your tenant ID
* `Subscription ID`: your subscription ID

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.digit.org/local-governance/v2.7/platform/installation/more-deploy-docs/infra-structure-overview/azure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
