-# Booting Azure Container Service
+# Booting Kubernetes on Azure Container Service
 
-## Prerequisites
+Azure Container Service (ACS) is an optimized container hosting solution that works
+with all the open source tools you know. Azure is great for Kubernetes and Deis Workflow.
 
-1. Azure Account - An active Azure Cloud account is required for this quick start. Start a trial with $200 of free credit [here](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/). After completing trial sign up, a credit card for billing must be added, but will not be charged.
+If you don't yet have a Microsoft Azure account, start a trial with $200 of free credit
+[here](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/).
 
-2. Some form of *nix-based terminal - MacOS, Ubuntu, CentOS, Bash on Windows, etc
-<br>Where the following is present:
+## Prerequisites
 
-3. Azure CLI - The Azure CLI (2.0) provides the `az` command which drives Azure through the command line. Install the CLI by following the instructions on [GitHub for the Azure CLI](https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli).
+1. You should be able to run the `az` command, which is used to provision resources in the Azure
+cloud. Either [install Azure CLI to your computer][] or open a [Cloud Shell][] by clicking
+this icon near the upper right of the [Azure Portal][]: ![Cloud Shell](images/cloudshell.png)
 
-4. SSH Key - This is used to deploy the cluster. [This URL helps to create SSH keys compatible with Linux VMs on Azure](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/virtual-machines-linux-mac-create-ssh-keys)
+1. You need an SSH key to deploy the Kubernetes cluster. For help, see Microsoft's documentation
+about [creating SSH key pairs][] for Linux VMs on Azure.
 
 ## Configure the Azure CLI
 
-After installing the CLI, log in to an Azure Account by typing `az login`. Take the code offered, enter it into the text box at [https://aka.ms/devicelogin](https://aka.ms/devicelogin), and login using an Azure account which has ownership or contributor permissions over at least one subscription.
+If you use [Cloud Shell][], the `az` client command is already configured.
 
-> Note: If the Azure subscription is configured for 2FA (not done by default), the Azure account used to login must have ownership credentials to create the service principal.
+If you installed `az` locally, log in to your Azure account by typing `az login` at a command
+prompt and complete the confirmation code process.
 
-```
-$ az login
-To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://aka.ms/devicelogin and enter the code F7DLMNOPE to authenticate.

-```
+You can verify which account is active with the `az account show` command.
 
-The `id` field from the `az login` command is the Azure Subscription Id. This id will be used throughout the guide. As a matter of convenience, set an environment variable named `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` with the value of the id (e.g. 57849302-a9f0-4908-b300-31337a0fb205). Check the configuration by setting the active subscription with `az account set`:
-```
-$ export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=57849302-a9f0-4908-b300-31337a0fb205
-$ az account set --subscription="${AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID}"
-```
+!!! note
+    Your Azure account needs ownership or contributor permissions on an Azure subscription.
 
-## Create an ACS Kubernetes Cluster
+    If the subscription has 2FA enabled, your Azure account must have ownership credentials in
+    order to create the service principal.
 
-Azure supports two methods to build an ACS Kubernetes cluster, through the Azure Web Portal (UI) or using the Azure command line (CLI).  Choose one of the two paths:
+## Create an ACS Kubernetes Cluster
 
-### Path 1: Azure 'az' CLI
+Azure Container Service can create a Kubernetes cluster using either
+[the `az` command line](#option-1-command-line) or [the Azure web portal](#option-2-web-portal).
 
-Create an empty Azure resource group to hold the ACS Kubernetes cluster. The location of the resource group can be set to any available Azure datacenter. To see the possible locations run `az account list-locations --query [].name --output tsv`
+### Option 1: Command Line
 
-Create an environment variable to hold the resource group name:
+Create a group to contain the ACS Kubernetes cluster resources. Export the resource group's name
+and location to environment variables for use by later commands:
 
 ```
+$ # list worldwide datacenter locations so we can pick one
+$ az account list-locations --query [].name --output tsv
+$ export AZURE_DC_LOCATION=southcentralus  # for example
 $ export AZURE_RG_NAME=myresourcegroup
-$ export AZURE_DC_LOCATION=mylocation
 $ az group create --name "${AZURE_RG_NAME}" --location "${AZURE_DC_LOCATION}"
 ```
 
-Execute the command to deploy the cluster. The `dns-prefix` and `ssh-key-value` must be replaced with your own values.
+Run the `az acs create` command to create your Kubernetes cluster, replacing the `--dns-prefix`
+and `--ssh-key-value` arguments below with your values:

-> Note: When `az acs create` starts, the provisioning process runs in the background by first creating a service principal named ${AZURE_SERVICE_NAME} assigned appropriate permissions.  After a few minutes the `az` command should return with information about the deployment created as shown below.

+Your Kubernetes cluster on Azure is ready. Now make sure you can
+[connect to the ACS Kubernetes cluster](#connect-to-the-acs-kubernetes-cluster).
 
 ## Connect to the ACS Kubernetes Cluster
 
 `kubectl` is the Kubernetes command line client.  If you don't already have it installed, you can install it with:
 
-```console
+```
 az acs kubernetes install-cli
 ```
 
 Download the master kubernetes cluster configuration to the ~/.kube/config file by running the following command:
 
-```console
+```
 az acs kubernetes get-credentials --resource-group=$AZURE_RG_NAME --name=$AZURE_SERVICE_NAME
 ```
+
  > Note: If the cluster was provisioned using any other SSH key than `/home/myusername/.ssh/id_rsa` then the `--ssh-key-file` parameter must be used pointing to the SSH key utilized to provision the cluster.
- 
+
 Verify connectivity to the new ACS Kubernetes cluster by running `kubectl cluster-info`
