Fix Provider error in Cloud Shell when using AKS in a new Azure Region

Given the recent announcement of the GA of Azure Kubernetes Service I thought I would take it for a spin in one of the new Regions it is now available in. I have previously deploy AKS in East US using the Azure Cloud Shell so didn't expect to run into any issues. However, I hit a minor snag, which I'm documenting here in case you come across it too.

az group create --name rg-aks-01 --location westus2
az aks create --resource-group rg-aks-01 --name testaks01 --node-count 1 --generate-ssh-keys

The subscription is not registered for the resource type 'managedClusters' in
the location 'westus2'. Please re-register for this provider in order to have
access to this location.

And this is the fix.

az provider register --namespace Microsoft.ContainerService

Registering is still on-going. You can monitor using az provider show -n Microsoft.ContainerService.

Then a short while later I ran the 'show' command and can now see this service is available in all the new Regions for GA (snippet shown below).

"locations": [ "UK West",
               "East US",
               "West Europe",
               "Central US",
               "Canada East",
               "Canada Central",
               "UK South",
               "West US",
               "West US 2",
               "Australia East",
               "North Europe" ]

Happy Days! 😎
