Separate install for Flux.
[Enter feedback here] Hi,
After using the example command
az k8s-configuration flux create -g flux-demo-rg \ -c flux-demo-arc \ -n cluster-config \ --namespace cluster-config \ -t connectedClusters \ --scope cluster \ -u https://github.com/Azure/gitops-flux2-kustomize-helm-mt \ --branch main \ --kustomization name=infra path=./infrastructure prune=true \ --kustomization name=apps path=./apps/staging prune=true dependsOn=\["infra"\]"
Without flux already installed my Flux install hung with me waiting over 1 Hour 45 minutes before ending the run and removing the extension which was still in state creating. I do not like the reliance in the documents on using the configure command to install Flux. I think adding a step for the install before the configure with the following command:
az k8s-extension create -g flux-demo-rg -c flux-demo-arc-n flux --extension-type microsoft.flux -t managedClusters --auto-upgrade-minor-version true
Would be more appropriate and allow better debugging should errors occur as the process is split.

@owainow Thanks for your feedback! We will investigate and update as appropriate.
@JnHs Can you please check and add your comments on this doc update request as applicable.
@owainow I'm going to assign this to the document author so they can take a look at it accordingly.
The command would be the following It would also be worth noting that you can install all in one if you want to with the configure command:
az k8s-extension create -g flux-demo-rg -c flux-demo-arc -n flux --extension-type microsoft.flux -t managedClusters --auto-upgrade-minor-version true
Hello @owainow - Thanks for sharing this feedback, and for your patience while we investigated. Both commands install the extension in the same way, and typically there should not be any issue using k8s-configuration create as indicated in the tutorial. However, it's a good point that you can optionally use k8s-extension to install the extension instance and then create the configuration separately. We've added a note to clarify that, pointing to the general extensions topic which has more details on how to use this command. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/kubernetes/tutorial-use-gitops-flux2?tabs=azure-cli#apply-a-flux-configuration
I'm going to close this issue now, but let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks again for taking the time to help us improve the docs!
