Error while connecting to AKS via Azure Cli from PowerShell

Question

while connecting with Azure kubernetes cluster from windows via powershell, I am getting an error.

The command being used is -

az aks get-credentials --name clustername --resource-group rgname --subscription subsId

The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:

I guess the problem is your Azure CLI. You can try to reinstall the CLI or update it. Then try again. — Charles Xu

This error happens when your ~/.kube/config is structured differently than what az aks get-credentials expects, for example when certain keys are missing. See https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/10812

You can resolve this issue by deleting ~/.kube/config.
