Add an Azure Kubernetes cluster to BlueXP

You can discover or import Kubernetes clusters to BlueXP so that you can back up persistent volumes to Azure.

Discover a cluster

You can discover a fully-managed or self-managed Kubernetes cluster. Managed clusters must be discovered; they cannot be imported.

Steps

1. On the Canvas, click Add Working Environment.

2. Select Microsoft Azure > Kubernetes Cluster > Discover.

   

3. Select Discover Cluster and click Next.

4. Select a Kubernetes cluster and click Next.

   

Result

BlueXP adds the Kubernetes cluster to the Canvas.

Import a Cluster

You can import a self-managed Kubernetes cluster using a Kubernetes configuration file.

Before you get started

You will need Certificate Authority, Client Key, and Client Certificate certificates for the user specified in the cluster role YAML file to import Kubernetes clusters. The Kubernetes cluster administrator receives these certifications when creating users on the Kubernetes cluster.

Steps

1. On the Canvas, click Add Working Environment.

2. Select Microsoft Azure > Kubernetes Cluster > Discover.

3. Select Import Cluster and click Next.

4. Upload a Kubernetes configuration file in YAML format.

   

5. Upload the cluster certificates provided by your Kubernetes cluster administrator.

   

Result

BlueXP adds the Kubernetes cluster to the Canvas.
