A composite action to connect to a specific aks context and cluster, with kubectl and helm installed. The composite action streamlines the workflow provided within the following guide GitHub Actions for deploying to Kubernetes service.

Simply call upon the action as so:

- name: Connect to AKS
  id: connect-to-aks
  uses: andersbea/[email protected]
  with: 
    CREDENTIALS: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}
    RESOURCE_GROUP: ${{ vars.AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP }}
    CLUSTER: ${{ vars.AZURE_CLUSTER }}

In order to retrieve the necessary credentials, simply run the following command in a terminal that is logged in to azure cli with an account that has the permissions to manage RBAC:

az ad sp create-for-rbac \
    --name "ghActionAzureVote" \
    --scope /subscriptions/<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>/resourceGroups/<RESOURCE_GROUP> \
    --role Contributor \
    --sdk-auth

The SUBSCRIPTION_ID and RESOURCE_GROUP can be retrieved through the Azure portal.

The entire JSON result represents the CREDENTIALS and should be set as a GitHub secrets value.
