As organizations start to create and\nmaintain clusters in AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), they also need to use\ncloud-based identity and access management service to access other Azure cloud\nresources and services. The Azure Active Directory (AAD) pod identity is a service\nthat gives users this control by assigning identities to individual pods.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without these controls, accounts may get\naccess to resources and services they don’t require. And it can also become\nhard for IT teams to track which set of credentials were used to make changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azure AD Pod identity is just one small part of the container and Kubernetes management process and as you delve deeper, you will realize the true power that Kubernetes and Containers bring to your DevOps ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a more detailed look at how to use AAD pod identity for connecting pods in AKS cluster with Azure Key Vault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pod Identity<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Integrate your key management system with Kubernetes using pod identity. Secrets, certificates, and keys in a key management system become a volume accessible to pods. The volume is mounted into the pod, and its data is available directly in the container file system for your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
