Using CLI
To remediate the issue with Azure Container Service using Azure CLI, you can follow these steps:
-
Upgrade the Azure Container Service:
- Use the
az aks upgrade
command to upgrade the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster to the latest version. - Example:
az aks upgrade --name <aks-cluster-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name>
- Use the
-
Enable Azure Monitor for Containers:
- Use the
az aks enable-addons
command to enable Azure Monitor for Containers on the AKS cluster. - Example:
az aks enable-addons --name <aks-cluster-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --addons monitoring
- Use the
-
Configure Log Analytics workspace:
- Use the
az monitor log-analytics workspace create
command to create a Log Analytics workspace. - Example:
az monitor log-analytics workspace create --resource-group <resource-group-name> --workspace-name <workspace-name> --location <location>
- Use the
Note: Replace <aks-cluster-name>
, <resource-group-name>
, <workspace-name>
, and <location>
with the appropriate values specific to your environment.
Using Python
To remediate Azure Container Service issues using Python, you can use the Azure SDK for Python. Here are three examples of how you can use Python scripts to remediate Azure Container Service issues:
- Restart a Container Instance:
- Scale a Container Group:
- Update Environment Variables of a Container Group:
Please note that you need to replace the placeholders (subscription_id
, resource_group_name
, container_group_name
, container_name
) with the actual values specific to your Azure Container Service deployment.
