Azure AKS Security purviews

When you are running AKS (Kubernetes), there are the security management points to be considered. Of course, as it’s part of Azure (cloud) services, general security controls can be in place.

Azure Security Center

Azure Security Center is a central hub for managing security across Azure services. It provides a unified view of security across all Azure subscriptions and allows businesses to monitor security across their entire infrastructure. The Security Center provides continuous monitoring of security for all Azure resources, including virtual machines, storage accounts, and databases. It also provides security recommendations and alerts to help businesses address security vulnerabilities and potential threats.

Azure Active Directory

If you are using Azure, using AD to manage the identity is much beneficial as it provides the secure access based on RBAC as managed service. It also provides SSO (Single-sign-on) and MFA to enhance the level of security.

Azure Key Vault

Azure Key Vault is a cloud-based service that provides a secure and centralized location for storing and managing cryptographic keys, secrets, and certificates. It allows businesses to protect sensitive information such as credentials, encryption keys, and API keys. Azure Key Vault provides features such as access policies, auditing, and versioning to help businesses manage their secrets securely.
