Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) - Part 05

Identity and Access Management through Azure AD and RBAC (Cluster Level)

High-Level Architecture Diagram:

Configuration Flow :

---

1. Architect/Developer do a "kubectl get svc", prompts a URL to login to.

2. Once authenticated the Azure AD token issuance endpoint issues the access token.

3. Architect/Developer do a "kubectl get svc" again with Azure AD Token.

4. Azure Kubernetes validates token with AAD and fetches the Developer’s AAD Groups

5. Azure Kubernetes RBAC and cluster policies are applied.

---

1. Provision Azure Environment using Azure Terraform

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

---

1.1 Add user(s) in the new created Azure AD Group that will manage the AKS Cluster

---

1.2 Check and set the server and client app "Grant admin consent for Default Directory"

---

2. Deploy the kubernetes Files

az aks get-credentials --resource-group Env02-AD-Integration-RG -n az-k8s --admin 

cd clouddrive/Terraform-Azure-k8s-ActiveDirectory/K8sDeployment

kubectl apply --namespace default -f "01webandsql.yaml"		
kubectl apply --namespace default -f "02RBAC.yaml"
kubectl apply --namespace default -f "02RBAC-ClusterRoleBinding.yaml"

---

3. Test the AKS connectivity

- Connect to Azure Kubernetes

az aks get-credentials --resource-group Env02-AD-Integration-RG -n az-k8s

- Do a kubectl get svc , login using a user that is a member of Azure AD Group "az-ad_grp_admin"

kubectl get svc

- Do a kubectl get svc , login with using a user that is not a member of Azure AD Group "az-ad_grp_admin"

kubectl get svc
