Description

Problem Statement

Support the running a kops cluster on Azure. This implementation would model AWS and GCE, and would be awesome!

How

Azure includes full API support for the creation of virtual machines and their scaling groups. There are multiple examples of the 'hard way' but we first can model there managed version.

Why

Why not ? Having AWS, GCE, Azure is the trifecta

Design

TBD

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing AWS and GCE implementations in kops to understand the architecture and identify the interfaces that need to be implemented for Azure. Then explore the Azure API for virtual machines, scaling groups, and networking to design the Azure cloud provider.
