How to Certify Couchbase Autonomous Operator On Azure AKS

The Couchbase Kubernetes testing team has successfully certified the Autonomous Operator (AO) on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), a cloud-provided Kubernetes service. The team had to overcome several platform-specific challenges, including setting up XDCR-ready AKS clusters with proper network configuration, enabling dynamic persistent volumes, and accessing CB pods in AKS. To resolve these issues, they created custom network configurations, storage classes, and Kubernetes API access methods. With the AO certified on AKS, the team can now run their automated test framework using AKS clusters, paving the way for future certification of other cloud-provided Kubernetes services.
