When the resource group is created, a new Kubernetes cluster can be added to the group:

az aks create --resource-group mpn-rg-kubernetes --name mykubernetescluster --node-count 1 --enable-addons monitoring --generate-ssh-keys

This command creates a new Kubernetes cluster with the name mykubernetescluster and with a single node. This means that there will be one virtual machine created in the Azure portal that is configured as a node for the Kubernetes cluster. In addition, the monitoring add-ons will be enabled on the cluster.

The creation of this cluster will take a couple of minutes. In Azure, the mykubernetescluster service will be created in the specified resource group. Alongside this resource group, another group will be created by the Azure platform itself.
