### Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Quick Start
Note: This section provides a means of very quickly getting up and running with
AIAP, but requires access to Azure. If you would like to deploy to a native
Linux environment, please refer to the [Minikube Installation](#minikube-installation).
Upon logging into and authenticating an Azure account (via `az login`),
Airship-in-a-Pod can be easily run within AKS by running the script:

Please consult the script for the full list of overrideable variables.
Note that authentication (e.g. `az login`) must be done prior to invoking

### Minikube Installation
## Prerequisites
This sections provides instructions for deploying AIAP to a single-node minikube.
### Nested Virtualisation
#### Prerequisites
If deployment is done on a VM, ensure that nested virtualisation is enabled.
### Environment variable setup
If you are within a proxy environment, ensure that the following environment
variables are defined, and NO_PROXY has the IP address which minikube uses.
* Nested Virtualisation: If deploying on a VM, ensure that nested virtualisation is enabled.
* Environment variable setup: If you are within a proxy environment, ensure that the following environment
variables are defined, and `NO_PROXY` has the IP address which minikube uses.
Check the [minikube documentation](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/commands/ip/)
for retrieving the minikube ip.

### To start minikube
#### To start minikube
Within the environment, with appropriate env variables set, run the following command.
```
sudo -E minikube start --driver=none
```
Refer to the [minikube documentation](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/) for more details.
