Installing From the Azure Marketplace

The Azure Marketplace can be used to install the CloudCasa agent on AKS and Azure Arc clusters. Note that installations done through the Azure Marketplace will be billed through the Azure Marketplace. This requires that the CloudCasa for Azure service plan has been selected. If you wish to use a different service plan, you should install the CloudCasa agent using an alternate method, such as the default kubectl method or by using the Helm chart.

The agent is available in the Azure Marketplace at the following locations:

Installation Instructions

  1. Before installing the agent on your first cluster, you should sign up for a CloudCasa account at: https://signup.cloudcasa.io. After logging in, go to the Configuration/Service Plans page, select the Marketplace tab, and enable the CloudCasa for Azure service plan.

  2. Start the installation process from the marketplace, and a new tabbed window will open. Under the “Basics” tab select the subscription and resource group within which your AKS cluster is located.

  3. Under the “Cluster Details” tab, choose the cluster on which you wish to install the CloudCasa agent by selecting it from the drop-down list.

  4. In the “Cluster Extensions Details” tab, provide a name for the extension. This should normally be “CloudCasa”. Then enter CloudCasa’s cluster ID for the cluster. You can obtain a cluster ID by logging in to the CloudCasa Portal, adding your cluster under Clusters/Overview, and noting the ID returned on the final page of the wizard.

  5. Complete the installation process.

  6. Once the agent is installed and running, the cluster state will change to “Active” in the CloudCasa portal.

De-installation instructions

  1. Delete the cluster in CloudCasa.

  2. Un-install the agent from the cluster using the Azure portal.

  3. Remove the cloudcasa-io namespace if it still exists.

Note

If the agent was installed through the Azure Marketplace, you must un-install it from clusters where it is no longer being used or you will continue to be billed through the marketplace for the clusters.
