how to setup Azure Kubernetes Service cluster and configure Kubernetes dashboard with AZ CLI?

it is very easy to create and run a  AKS cluster with few AZ CLI commands.

1. create a resource group for AKS

az group create --name dan-aks-rg --location eastus

2. create an AKS cluster

az aks create --resource-group dan-aks-rg --name dan-cluster

3.get the credentials for the cluster, this will download the credetenials and store in the config file
under this path C:\Users\admin\.kube

az aks get-credentials --resource-group dan-aks-rg --name dan-cluster

4. install the Kubernetes cli utility

az ask install-cli

5. install Kubernetes dashboard

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.0.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

6. Access the dashboard. there are two way to access the Kubernetes dashboard.
 from AZ CLI

az aks browse --resource-group dan-aks-rg --name dan-cluster

it will automatically lauch in the web browser

http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/


or we can use kubectl proxy to access the Kubernetes Dashboard UI. Type Kubectl proxy in the CMD windows, then hit enter and launch the web chrome and paste the following url in the url windows to launch the kubernetes dashboard.

kubectl proxy 

http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#/overview?namespace=default

7. Trouble shot tips

if you see an empty kubernetes dashboard with warming message
"secrets is forbidden: User "clusterUser" cannot list resource "secrets" in API group "" in the namespace "default"

it is permission issue. you can resolve this following steps, you need to replace the clusterUser with specific name that was shown in your error message.
