Azure Kubernetes Service set context

This action can be used to set cluster context before other actions like azure/k8s-deploy and azure/k8s-create-secret. Any kubectl commands (in script) can also be run subsequently in the workflow.

You must run Azure/login before this action.

Action inputs

Action inputs	Description
resource-group (Required)	Resource group containing the AKS cluster
cluster-name (Required)	Name of the AKS cluster
subscription	Subscription tied to AKS cluster
admin	Get cluster admin credentials. Values: true or false
use-kubelogin	Allows non-admin users to use the Action via kubelogin

Example

OIDC Authentication (recommended)

- uses: azure/login@v1
  with:
     client-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}
     tenant-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_TENANT_ID }}
     subscription-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID }}

- uses: azure/aks-set-context@v3
  with:
     resource-group: '<resource group name>'
     cluster-name: '<cluster name>'

Service Principal Authentication

- uses: azure/login@v1
  with:
     creds: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}

- uses: azure/aks-set-context@v3
  with:
     resource-group: '<resource group name>'
     cluster-name: '<cluster name>'

Kubelogin

kubelogin is at the core of the non-admin user scenario. For more information on kubelogin, refer to the documentation here.

To run this Action as a non-admin user, you must first install kubelogin. To set up kubelogin, you may use the following:

- name: Set up kubelogin for non-interactive login
        run: |
          curl -LO https://github.com/Azure/kubelogin/releases/download/v0.0.9/kubelogin-linux-amd64.zip
          sudo unzip -j kubelogin-linux-amd64.zip -d /usr/local/bin
          rm -f kubelogin-linux-amd64.zip
          kubelogin --version

Non-Admin User Example

If you are executing this Action as a non-admin user, you need to toggle the optional use-kubelogin Action input to true for it to work.

- uses: azure/login@v1
  with:
     client-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}
     tenant-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_TENANT_ID }}
     subscription-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID }}

- uses: azure/aks-set-context@v3
  with:
     resource-group: '<resource group name>'
     cluster-name: '<cluster name>'
     admin: 'false'
     use-kubelogin: 'true'

- uses: azure/login@v1
  with:
     creds: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}

- uses: azure/aks-set-context@v3
  with:
     resource-group: '<resource group name>'
     cluster-name: '<cluster name>'
     admin: 'false'
     use-kubelogin: 'true'
