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

Research direction
This issue requests adding Azure support to kops, a massive feature with no concrete design (TBD). The discussion spans 65 comments over many years, but no assignees or linked PRs. A newcomer would need to understand kops architecture, Azure APIs, and Kubernetes cluster provisioning. Look at existing cloud provider implementations (AWS, GCE) in the codebase for patterns, and review comments for any maintained decision records.
