The Fix - Deployment Issue Resolution

Problem

• 7 Failed Clusters: Stopped during Terraform updates (cannot be updated, must be deleted)
• 16 Canceled Clusters: Deployment interrupted (exist in Azure but not in Terraform state)

Solution

Delete all problematic clusters and recreate with Terraform

Quick Fix (Automated)

Run this single command:

./scripts/azure/fix-deployment-issues.sh

This script will:

1. ✅ Delete all 7 failed clusters
2. ✅ Delete all 16 canceled clusters
3. ✅ Clean Terraform state
4. ✅ Re-run Terraform deployment (recreates all clusters)
5. ✅ Verify deployment status

Estimated Time: 20-40 minutes

Manual Fix (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Delete Failed Clusters

# List failed clusters
az aks list --subscription fc08d829-4f14-413d-ab27-ce024425db0b \
  --query "[?contains(name, 'az-p-') && provisioningState == 'Failed'].{name:name, rg:resourceGroup}" -o table

# Delete each failed cluster
az aks delete --resource-group <rg> --name <name> --subscription fc08d829-4f14-413d-ab27-ce024425db0b --yes

Step 2: Delete Canceled Clusters

# List canceled clusters
az aks list --subscription fc08d829-4f14-413d-ab27-ce024425db0b \
  --query "[?contains(name, 'az-p-') && provisioningState == 'Canceled'].{name:name, rg:resourceGroup}" -o table

# Delete each canceled cluster
az aks delete --resource-group <rg> --name <name> --subscription fc08d829-4f14-413d-ab27-ce024425db0b --yes

Step 3: Re-run Terraform

cd terraform/well-architected/cloud-sovereignty
terraform init -upgrade
terraform apply -parallelism=128 -auto-approve

Why This Works

1. Failed Clusters: Are in terminal "stopped state" - cannot be updated, must be deleted
2. Canceled Clusters: Cause state mismatch - deleting ensures clean recreation
3. Recreation: Terraform will create all clusters fresh with correct configuration
4. Clean State: No import complexity, consistent configuration

Prevention

After fix, add these safeguards:

1. Check Power State Before Updates:

   az aks show --resource-group <rg> --name <name> --query powerState
   

2. Prevent Manual Stops: Lock resource groups or use policies

3. State Management: Use remote state backend (Azure Storage)

4. Monitoring: Watch for stopped clusters during deployment

Expected Outcome

After fix:

• ✅ All 24 clusters created successfully
• ✅ All clusters in "Succeeded" state
• ✅ Terraform state matches Azure reality
• ✅ Ready for next deployment steps (Kubernetes, Besu, contracts)

Verification

After fix completes, verify:

# Check cluster status
az aks list --subscription fc08d829-4f14-413d-ab27-ce024425db0b \
  --query "[?contains(name, 'az-p-')].{name:name, state:provisioningState, power:powerState.code}" -o table

# Expected: All should show "Succeeded" state and "Running" power

Next Steps After Fix

Once all clusters are ready:

./scripts/deployment/wait-and-run-all-next-steps.sh

This will:

1. Configure Kubernetes
2. Deploy Besu network
3. Deploy smart contracts
4. Set up monitoring
