1. Required tools: az and kubectl.
My host is Debian 11. First thing I need to do is to install az tool to it. According to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?pivots=apt , I chose my installation method to be the bash command below:
curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash
After the installation is complete, I have the az command available to use. I also need kubectl to access my deployed cluster from my local workstation. This is again just few commands. Some good instructions can be found from: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-linux/ As I love one-liners, here is the command I used to get kubectl installed and ready to go on my Debian 11:
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl" && chmod +x ./kubectl && sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
2.Beginning to make AKS cluster with the az tool.
Azure docs are great reference here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/learn/quick-kubernetes-deploy-cli Before going any further, the login to the Azure using az tool needs to happen.
az login
“A web browser has been opened at https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/oauth2/v2.0/authorize. Please continue the login in the web browser. If no web browser is available or if the web browser fails to open, use device code flow with az login --use-device-code.”

If I would not want to open a browser to login, I could use the -u flag
az login -u your_user@outlook.com
