Deploy MinIO Operator on Azure Kubernetes Service
minio
Table of Contents
Overview
Azure
Kubernetes Engine (AKS) is a highly available, secure, and fully
managed Kubernetes service from Microsoft Azure. The MinIO Kubernetes
Operator supports deploying MinIO Tenants onto AKS infrastructure using
the MinIO Operator Console, the kubectl minio
CLI tool, or kustomize for YAML-defined deployments <operator/tree/master/examples/kustomization>
.
Through the AKS Marketplace <product/multicloud-azure-kubernetes-service>
-
MinIO maintains an AKS Marketplace listing through which you can register your AKS cluster with . Any MinIO tenant you deploy through Marketplace-connected clusters can take advantage of SUBNET registration, including 24/7 access to MinIO engineers.
- Using the MinIO
kubectl
Plugin -
MinIO provides a
kubectl
plugin for installing and managing the MinIO Operator and Tenants through a terminal or shell (CLI) environment. You can manually register these tenants with at any time.
This page documents deploying the MinIO Operator through the CLI
using the kubectl minio
plugin. For instructions on
deploying the MinIO Operator through the AKS Marketplace, see Deploy MinIO through AKS <multicloud-azure-kubernetes-service/deploy>
This documentation assumes familiarity with all referenced Kubernetes
and Azure Kubernetes Service concepts, utilities, and procedures. While
this documentation may provide guidance for configuring or
deploying Kubernetes-related or Azure Kubernetes Service-related
resources on a best-effort basis, it is not a replacement for the
official Kubernetes Documentation <>

Prerequisites
Existing AKS Cluster
This procedure assumes an existing AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service)
cluster onto which you
can deploy the MinIO Operator.
The Operator by default deploys pods and services with two replicas each and pod anti-affinity. The AKS cluster should therefore have at least two nodes available for scheduling Operator pods and services. While these nodes may be the same nodes intended for use by MinIO Tenants, co-locating Operator and Tenant pods may increase the risk of service interruptions due to the loss of any one node.
kubectl
Access
to the AKS Cluster
Ensure your host machine has a kubectl
installation
compatible with the target AKS cluster. For guidance on connecting
kubectl
to AKS, see Install kubectl and configure cluster access <tutorial-kubernetes-deploy-cluster?tabs=azure-cli#connect-to-cluster-using-kubectl>
