# Deploy Azure IoT Operations on AKS Edge Essentials
12+
13+
[Azure IoT Operations (AIO)]() requires an Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster. You can use AKS Edge Essentials to create a Microsoft managed Kubernetes cluster and deploy AIO as a workload on it. This article describes the steps to run a handy script that creates an AKS Edge Essentials Kubernetes clusters with all the required configurations applicable for AIO.
14+
15+
> [!INFO]
16+
> AIO is Gnerally Available on AKS EE single machine clusters. Deploying clusters on multiple machines is an experimental feature.
17+
18+
## Pre-requisites for running the script
19+
20+
- An Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create one for free before you begin.
21+
- Azure CLI version 2.64.0 or newer installed on your development machine. Use az --version to check your version and az upgrade to update if necessary.For more information, see [How to install the Azure CLI](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli).
22+
- The latest version of the following extensions for Azure CLI:
23+
```bash
24+
az extension add --upgrade --name azure-iot-ops
25+
az extension add --upgrade --name connectedk8s
26+
```
27+
- Hardware requirements: Ensure that your machine has a minimum of 16-GB available RAM, 8 available vCPUs, and 52-GB free disk space reserved for Azure IoT Operations.
28+
- If you're going to deploy Azure IoT Operations to a multi-node cluster with fault tolerance enabled, review the hardware and storage requirements in [Prepare Linux for Edge Volumes](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/container-storage/prepare-linux-edge-volumes).
29+
30+
31+
## Create an AKS EE cluster for AIO
32+
The [AksEdgeQuickStartForAio.ps1](https://github.com/Azure/AKS-Edge/blob/main/tools/scripts/AksEdgeQuickStart/AksEdgeQuickStartForAio.ps1) script automates the process of creating and connecting a cluster, and is the recommended path for deploying Azure IoT Operations on AKS Edge Essentials.
33+
1. Open an elevated PowerShell window and change the directory to a working folder.
34+
1. Get the objectId of the Microsoft Entra ID application that the Azure Arc service uses in your tenant. Run the following command exactly as written, without changing the GUID value.
35+
```azurecli
36+
az ad sp show --id bc313c14-388c-4e7d-a58e-70017303ee3b --query id -o tsv
37+
```
38+
1. Run the following commands, replacing the placeholder values with your information:
39+
40+
|Placeholder|Value |
41+
|---------|---------|
42+
|SUBSCRIPTION_ID | The ID of your Azure subscription. If you don't know your subscription ID, see [Find your Azure subscription](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/get-subscription-tenant-id#find-your-azure-subscription). |
43+
|TENANT_ID | The ID of your Microsoft Entra tenant. If you don't know your tenant ID, see [Find your Microsoft Entra tenant](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/get-subscription-tenant-id#find-your-microsoft-entra-tenant). |
44+
|RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME | The name of an existing resource group or a name for a new resource group to be created. |
45+
|LOCATION | An Azure region close to you. For the list of currently supported Azure regions, see [Supported regions](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-operations/overview-iot-operations#supported-regions). |
46+
|CLUSTER_NAME | A name for the new cluster to be created. |
47+
|ARC_APP_OBJECT_ID | The object ID value that you retrieved in the previous step. |
48+
49+
```powershell
50+
$url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/AKS-Edge/main/tools/scripts/AksEdgeQuickStart/AksEdgeQuickStartForAio.ps1"
51+
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile .\AksEdgeQuickStartForAio.ps1
52+
Unblock-File .\AksEdgeQuickStartForAio.ps1
53+
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
54+
.\AksEdgeQuickStartForAio.ps1 -SubscriptionId "<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>" -TenantId "<TENANT_ID>" -ResourceGroupName "<RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME>" -Location "<LOCATION>" -ClusterName "<CLUSTER_NAME>" -CustomLocationOid "<ARC_APP_OBJECT_ID>"
55+
```
56+
If there are any issues during deployment, including if your machine reboots as part of this process, run the whole set of commands again.
57+
1. Run the following commands to check that the deployment was successful:
58+
```powershell
59+
Import-Module AksEdge
60+
Get-AksEdgeDeploymentInfo
61+
```
62+
In the output of the Get-AksEdgeDeploymentInfo command, you should see that the cluster's Arc status is Connected.
63+
64+
## Verify your cluster
65+
To verify that your cluster is ready for Azure IoT Operations deployment, you can use the [verify-host](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/iot/ops#az-iot-ops-verify-host) helper command in the Azure IoT Operations extension for Azure CLI. When run on the cluster host, this helper command checks connectivity to Azure Resource Manager and Microsoft Container Registry endpoints.
66+
```azurecli
67+
az iot ops verify-host
68+
```
69+
70+
To verify that your Kubernetes cluster is Azure Arc-enabled, run the following command:
71+
```bash
72+
kubectl get deployments,pods -n azure-arc
73+
```
74+
75+
The output looks like the following example:
76+
```output
