this only works for VMs, not vmss (ie. not MachinePool) right?

Right. I'll add an equivalent example for VMSS.

wouldn't kubectl get machines / kubectl get machinepool grep -v Ready have the same effect without needing az cli and calling to Azure? In your case did the machine show as Ready?

Sorry, grep -v Running *

I honestly didn't look at the machine resource at all. This was how my brain worked:
- create cluster w/ desired node count
- wait for nodes to come online, after a while noticed that there was one missing node
- how many actual VMs are in my resource group? it's 20
- O.K., so which one didn't register as a node?
FWIW

Right, I think both are valid, you went to the RG as a first instinct because you're familiar with Azure. For users who aren't as comfortable with Azure specific stuff it'd be nice to document how all this stuff can be done without needing to care about the underlying infrastructure... kubectl get azuremachine should show you the VM status while kubectl get machine should show you the status of the machine from a k8s perspective.

I think both perspectives are valid here. In reality will probably need to look at both CAPZ CRD and the underlying infra. Atleast that's how I have approached it so far, I look at the crd's for a quick understanding of what CAPZ thinks is going on then I look at the azure system to see what is happening. It would be worth add a small section to see how this vms in azure related to the CRD's of capz.

Love the idea of giving use case driven debugging tips. My thoughts are if you use the CAPZ crd's you could get rid of the I use the ssh and map tool all the time when debuggin and would find something similiar useful too. I had this problem of nodes coming online just yesterday 😄 |

@jackfrancis once #901 merges, consider changing these instructions looking at boot diagnostics from the portal or the Azure CLI (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/vm/boot-diagnostics?view=azure-cli-latest#az-vm-boot-diagnostics-get-boot-log) |
