Integrate Azure Container Registry ACR with AKS Step-00: Pre-requisites We should have Azure AKS Cluster Up and Running. We have created a new aksdemo2 cluster as part of Azure Virtual Nodes demo in previous section. We are going to leverage the same cluster for all 3 demos planned for Azure Container Registry and AKS. # Configure Command Line Credentials
az aks get-credentials --name aksdemo2 --resource-group aks-rg2
# Verify Nodes
kubectl get nodes
kubectl get nodes -o wide
# Verify aci-connector-linux
kubectl get pods -n kube-system
# Verify logs of ACI Connector Linux
kubectl logs -f $(kubectl get po -n kube-system | egrep -o 'aci-connector-linux-[A-Za-z0-9-]+') -n kube-system
Step-01: Introduction Build a Docker Image from our Local Docker on our Desktop Tag the docker image in the required ACR Format Push to Azure Container Registry Attach ACR with AKS Deploy kubernetes workloads and see if the docker image got pulled automatically from ACR we have created.
VIDEO Step-02: Create Azure Container Registry Go to Services -> Container Registries Click on Add Subscription: StackSimplify-Paid-Subsciption Resource Group: aks-rg2 Registry Name: acrforaksdemo2 (NAME should be unique across Azure Cloud) Location: Central US SKU: Basic (Pricing Note: $0.167 per day) Click on Review + Create Click on Create Step-02: Build Docker Image Locally Review Docker Manigests # Change Directory
cd docker-manifests
# Docker Build
docker build -t kube-nginx-acr:v1 .
# List Docker Images
docker images
docker images kube-nginx-acr:v1
Step-03: Run Docker Container locally and test # Run locally and Test
docker run --name kube-nginx-acr --rm -p 80:80 -d kube-nginx-acr:v1
# Access Application locally
http://localhost
# Stop Docker Image
docker stop kube-nginx-acr
Step-04: Enable Docker Login for ACR Repository Go to Services -> Container Registries -> acrforaksdemo2 Go to Access Keys Click on Enable Admin User Make a note of Username and password Step-05: Push Docker Image to ACR Build, Test Locally, Tag and Push to ACR # Export Command
export ACR_REGISTRY=acrforaksdemo2.azurecr.io
export ACR_NAMESPACE=app1
export ACR_IMAGE_NAME=kube-nginx-acr
export ACR_IMAGE_TAG=v1
echo $ACR_REGISTRY, $ACR_NAMESPACE, $ACR_IMAGE_NAME, $ACR_IMAGE_TAG
# Login to ACR
docker login $ACR_REGISTRY
# Tag
docker tag kube-nginx-acr:v1 $ACR_REGISTRY/$ACR_NAMESPACE/$ACR_IMAGE_NAME:$ACR_IMAGE_TAG
It replaces as below
docker tag kube-nginx-acr:v1 acrforaksdemo2.azurecr.io/app1/kube-nginx-acr:v1
# List Docker Images to verify
docker images kube-nginx-acr:v1
docker images $ACR_REGISTRY/$ACR_NAMESPACE/$ACR_IMAGE_NAME:$ACR_IMAGE_TAG
# Push Docker Images
docker push $ACR_REGISTRY/$ACR_NAMESPACE/$ACR_IMAGE_NAME:$ACR_IMAGE_TAG
Verify Docker Image in ACR Repository Go to Services -> Container Registries -> acrforaksdemo2 Go to Repositories -> app1/kube-nginx-acr #Set ACR NAME
export ACR_NAME=acrforaksdemo2
echo $ACR_NAME
# Template
az aks update -n myAKSCluster -g myResourceGroup --attach-acr <acr-name>
# Replace Cluster, Resource Group and ACR Repo Name
az aks update -n aksdemo2 -g aks-rg2 --attach-acr $ACR_NAME
Step-06: Update & Deploy to AKS & Test Update Deployment Manifest with Image Name spec :
containers :
- name : acrdemo-localdocker
image : acrforaksdemo2.azurecr.io/app1/kube-nginx-acr:v1
imagePullPolicy : Always
ports :
- containerPort : 80
Deploy to AKS and Test # Deploy
kubectl apply -f kube-manifests/
# List Pods
kubectl get pods
# Describe Pod
kubectl describe pod <pod-name>
# Get Load Balancer IP
kubectl get svc
# Access Application
http://<External-IP-from-get-service-output>
Step-07: Clean-Up # Delete Applications
kubectl delete -f kube-manifests/
Step-08: Detach ACR from AKS Cluster (Optional) #Set ACR NAME
export ACR_NAME=acrforaksdemo2
echo $ACR_NAME
# Detach ACR with AKS Cluster
az aks update -n aksdemo2 -g aks-rg2 --detach-acr $ACR_NAME
# Delete ACR Repository
Go To Services -> Container Registries -> acrforaksdemo2 -> Delete it
