Hello,

I have successfully implemented the Azure AD login for all my Linux VMs and connected via Azure Bastion native client support. A great feature I must say.
Now just wandering is this same feature can be extended to Azure Kubernetes Service as well? If I could connect to AKS cluster nodes/pods via Azure AD credentials.

Please advise. Thanks in anticipation.

    Hi @Atanu Gupta

    Thanks for using Q & A forum.

    Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) can be configured to use Azure Active Directory (AD) for user authentication. In this configuration, you can log into an AKS cluster using an Azure AD authentication token. Cluster operators can also configure Kubernetes role-based access control (Kubernetes RBAC) based on a user's identity or directory group membership.

    Use Azure Active Directory pod-managed identities in Azure Kubernetes Service (Preview) and there are few Limitations
