Prepare to install Azure CLI extensions

This how-to guide explains the steps for installing the required az CLI and extensions required to interact with Operator Nexus.

Azure CLI is required to be installed before the extensions installations. Follow Install Azure CLI instructions to install it.

Installations of the following CLI extensions are required:

  • networkcloud for Microsoft.NetworkCloud APIs
  • managednetworkfabric for Microsoft.ManagedNetworkFabric APIs

Note

Any upgrade of the Azure CLI downloads the latest stable version of the installed extension. The --allow-preview=True needs to be explicitly set to install the preview version of the extensions.

Install networkcloud CLI extension

  • For list of available versions, see the extension release history.

  • Install and verify the latest version of networkcloud CLI extension. If the extension is already installed, the command upgrades it when a newer version exists.

    az extension add --yes --upgrade --name networkcloud
az networkcloud --help

Install managednetworkfabric CLI extension

  • For list of available versions, see the extension release history.

  • Install and verify the latest version of networkcloud CLI extension. If the extension is already installed, the command upgrades it when a newer version exists.

    az extension add --yes --upgrade --name managednetworkfabric
az networkfabric --help

Install other Azure extensions

Install the other Azure CLI extensions that Nexus uses. If these extensions are already installed, the commands upgrade them when a newer version exists.

az extension add --yes --upgrade --name customlocation
az extension add --yes --upgrade --name k8s-extension
az extension add --yes --upgrade --name k8s-configuration
az extension add --yes --upgrade --name connectedmachine
az extension add --yes --upgrade --name monitor-control-service
az extension add --yes --upgrade --name ssh
az extension add --yes --upgrade --name connectedk8s

List installed CLI extensions and versions

List the extension version running:

az extension list --query "[].{Name:name,Version:version}" -o table
