3.8.6.3. Exporting common variables for ARM templates

Procedure

1. Export common variables found in the install-config.yaml to be used by the provided ARM templates:

   $ export CLUSTER_NAME=<cluster_name>1
   $ export AZURE_REGION=<azure_region>2
   $ export SSH_KEY=<ssh_key>3
   $ export BASE_DOMAIN=<base_domain>4
   $ export BASE_DOMAIN_RESOURCE_GROUP=<base_domain_resource_group>5

   1

   The value of the .metadata.name attribute from the install-config.yaml file.

   2

   The region to deploy the cluster into, for example centralus. This is the value of the .platform.azure.region attribute from the install-config.yaml file.

   3

   The SSH RSA public key file as a string. You must enclose the SSH key in quotes since it contains spaces. This is the value of the .sshKey attribute from the install-config.yaml file.

   4

   The base domain to deploy the cluster to. The base domain corresponds to the public DNS zone that you created for your cluster. This is the value of the .baseDomain attribute from the install-config.yaml file.

   5

   The resource group where the public DNS zone exists. This is the value of the .platform.azure.baseDomainResourceGroupName attribute from the install-config.yaml file.

   For example:

   $ export CLUSTER_NAME=test-cluster
   $ export AZURE_REGION=centralus
   $ export SSH_KEY="ssh-rsa xxx/xxx/xxx= user@email.com"
   $ export BASE_DOMAIN=example.com
   $ export BASE_DOMAIN_RESOURCE_GROUP=ocp-cluster

2. Export the kubeadmin credentials:

   $ export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 1

   1

   For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
