It installs on a Kubernetes cluster your platform provisions and operates. This is the canonical, provider-neutral installation path.</p> <p>This page takes a platform operator from an empty workstation to a validated TauGrid workspace and a completed smoke workload. The portable path works on Kubernetes 1.30 or newer. Provider-specific identity, networking, storage, GPU drivers, and cluster lifecycle remain owned by your platform.</p>https://azure.github.io/taugrid/docs/platform-admin-guide/aks-setup/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://azure.github.io/taugrid/docs/platform-admin-guide/aks-setup/<p>AKS is one supported way to reach the Kubernetes cluster that the <a href="../kubernetes/">Getting started on Kubernetes guide</a> installs onto. This page compares the three ways to get there and links each one to its source runbook. Use it after deciding you want AKS specifically; if you already have a Kubernetes cluster of any kind, go straight back to <a href="../kubernetes/#2-prepare-a-kubernetes-cluster">step 2 of Getting started on Kubernetes</a>.</p> <h2 id="prerequisites">Prerequisites</h2> <ul> <li>An Azure subscription and the <code>az</code> CLI, logged in, with permission to create resource groups and AKS clusters (or an existing cluster you can already reach with <code>kubectl</code>).</li> <li><code>tau</code>, <code>kubectl</code>, and <code>helm</code> on <code>PATH</code>; see <a href="../kubernetes/#1-install-the-tau-cli">Install the Tau CLI</a>. <code>tau cluster install</code> shells out to <code>helm</code> internally.</li> <li>For the Terraform path: Terraform 1.9+ and Azure credentials usable by the AzureRM provider.</li> <li>For the GPU Terraform path: regional quota for the target GPU VM SKU.</li> </ul> <h2 id="choose-a-path">Choose a path</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Path</th> <th>Use it when</th> <th>Creates billable resources</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="https://azure.github.io/taugrid/docs/platform-admin-guide/aks-setup/#1-guided-cpu-quickstart-recommended-for-evaluation">Guided CPU quickstart</a></td> <td>You want a guided, disposable, end-to-end evaluation with scripted cleanup, using only CPU quota</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="https://azure.github.io/taugrid/docs/platform-admin-guide/aks-setup/#2-reproducible-gpu-capable-terraform">GPU Terraform root</a></td> <td>You want reviewable, reproducible AKS infrastructure with GPU node pools that your platform team can adapt and own long-term</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="https://azure.github.io/taugrid/docs/platform-admin-guide/aks-setup/#3-an-existing-aks-cluster">Existing AKS cluster</a></td> <td>Your platform team already runs an AKS cluster that meets the prerequisites</td> <td>Only if you scale it</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3 id="1-guided-cpu-quickstart-recommended-for-evaluation">1.
