Create an Azure AD tenant for Azure Red Hat OpenShift

Important

Azure Red Hat OpenShift 3.11 will be retired 30 June 2022. Support for creation of new Azure Red Hat OpenShift 3.11 clusters continues through 30 November 2020. Following retirement, remaining Azure Red Hat OpenShift 3.11 clusters will be shut down to prevent security vulnerabilities.

Follow this guide to create an Azure Red Hat OpenShift 4 cluster. If you have specific questions, please contact us.

Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift requires an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant in which to create your cluster. A tenant is a dedicated instance of Azure AD that an organization or app developer receives when they create a relationship with Microsoft by signing up for Azure, Microsoft Intune, or Microsoft 365. Each Azure AD tenant is distinct and separate from other Azure AD tenants and has its own work and school identities and app registrations.

If you don't already have an Azure AD tenant, follow these instructions to create one.

Create a new Azure AD tenant

To create a tenant:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal using the account you wish to associate with your Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster.

  2. Open the Azure Active Directory blade to create a new tenant (also known as a new Azure Active Directory).

  3. Provide an Organization name.

  4. Provide an Initial domain name. This will have onmicrosoft.com appended to it. You can reuse the value for Organization name here.

  5. Choose a country or region where the tenant will be created.

  6. Click Create.

  7. After your Azure AD tenant is created, select the Click here to manage your new directory link. Your new tenant name should be displayed in the upper-right of the Azure portal:

  8. Make note of the tenant ID so you can later specify where to create your Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster. In the portal, you should now see the Azure Active Directory overview blade for your new tenant. Select Properties and copy the value for your Directory ID. We will refer to this value as TENANT in the Create an Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster tutorial.
