Azure Arc Standalone Server with AKS - Am I Crazy?

Hi All. I am attempting to run a proof of concept here and create an AKS cluster on a bare metal windows server. The use case being that in the event of a network outage, a local copy of our application could potentially be deployed.

What ive got so far

1. A repurposed high spec PC with windows server on it. 6 core (12 HT), 512gb SSD, 32GB RAM, single NIC.

2. Windows Server 2019 installed

3. Windows Admin Center 2306 (1.5.2306)

Ive had a number of problems getting this off the ground. Firstly, it is very difficult for me to get a good answer on how to "size" a kubernetes cluster running in Arc! 🙂 Ive found some articles online to allow for 120 IP's per node etc, but very little in how to plan this all out.

Second, while deploying the AKS cluster i ran into an error with AKS logging into Azure. Ive overcome this, the solution I posted here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1299863/how-to-fix-method-get-serializationsettings-does-n

Im now stuck with a further error, and before i invest time into this, i want to ask the community, have any of you had to do this amount of work to get this off the ground? Am i going about this wrong? Ive watched Thomas Maurer's videos several times, and i'm not convinced he is actually deploying to a single server or some steps are missing.

Any thoughts?
