Скачать или смотреть AzureFunBytes Episode 35 - Azure Identity and Service Principals with @pdtit

AzureFunBytes is a weekly opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals and foundations that make up Azure. It's a chance for me to understand more about what people across the Azure organization do and how they do it. Every week we get together at 11AM Pacific on Microsoft LearnTV and learn more about Azure.

This week Microsoft Technical Trainer Peter de Tender joins me for a conversation about Azure Identity and Service Principals. Peter recently wrote a blog post on the Azure DevOps blog that really made me think it was time to dig into managed identity and access management a bit more.

The Azure Documentation defines an Azure service principal as an identity created for use with applications, hosted services, and automated tools to access Azure resources. This access is restricted by the roles assigned to the service principal, giving you control over which resources can be accessed and at which level. For security reasons, it's always recommended to use service principals with automated tools rather than allowing them to log in with a user identity.

How is it related to Azure Active Directory? How exactly are we limiting access to our deployment environments? How can we do deploy to our Kubernetes Service from our Azure Container Registry without having to always specify our credentials? What are Azure managed Identities? These are some tough questions I am hoping to get some answers to on this week's AzureFunBytes. We'll take questions, listen to your comments, and take part in another educational session about Azure.

Peter will help me answer all these questions and more! I can't wait to find out how to configure everything for our automation to keep our DevOps process secure!
