Preparing for PPC deployment

This section describes the steps to download and extract the recipe for deploying the PPC.

Note: If there is an existing cluster from a previous install, clean up your local repository on the jump box and any existing clusters by running tofu destroy -var-file=terraform.tfvars from scripts/iac/ before proceeding.

During installation, the system may prompt for the system password and require sign-in to Microsoft Azure. If the Azure CLI is not already logged in, the bootstrap script automatically runs az login. A device-code prompt similar to the following displays.

[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] Azure CLI not logged in. Triggering az login...
To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://login.microsoft.com/device and enter the code XXXXXXXX to authenticate.

To sign-in to Microsoft Azure, perform the following steps:

1. Open the displayed URL in a browser, and enter the code shown in the terminal.
2. Complete the SSO sign-in and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. After successful authentication, the script continues automatically.

Download the release archive from the AWS S3 bucket and extract it on the jump box using the following commands:

# Install AWSCLI, Login using AWS credentials and Download the archive

aws configure set aws_access_key_id `YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID`

aws configure set aws_secret_access_key `YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`

aws s3 cp s3://ai-team-edition-1.0-redwood-312310269473-us-west-1-an/PPC-K8S-64_x86-64_AZURE-AKS_1.1.0.4.tar .

# Extract the archive
tar -xvf PPC-K8S-64_x86-64_AZURE-AKS_1.1.0.4.tar
