Setting up Zsh with Oh My Zsh in Azure Cloud Shell

As you might know I recently switched jobs and now working primarily with a MacBook Pro at LeanIX. So, I am using the Zsh in my day to day work and wanted to have the same experience in Azure Cloud Shell as well. Per default the Azure Cloud Shell starts with a Bash environment, but also supports the Zsh. I have written a shell script to set up Oh My Zsh, kubectx, kubens, krew and Linkerd in Azure Read more [...]

Distribute Azure Kubernetes Service kubeconfig credentials

Last week I showed you the kubeconfig credentials distribution for AKS Engine. -> https://www.danielstechblog.io/distribute-aks-engine-kubeconfig-credentials/ In this blog post I walk you through the steps for Azure Kubernetes Service. The distribution of the kubeconfig credentials for an AKS cluster with AAD integration is a lot easier thanks to the following two built-in RBAC roles. -> Read more [...]
