How to disable Azure Defender for Kubernetes?

Question

I've created AKS(Azure Kubernetes Service) resource.

I want to deploy my service on this k8s cluster without Azure Defender.

But, Azure Defender for Kubernetes is ON as default (From security center, Azure Defender is OFF with my subscription Azure for Students ).

I've tried az aks disable-addons -a monitoring -n MyExistingManagedCluster -g MyExistingManagedClusterRG , but can't.

I also asked this question on Twitter. This is link: https://twitter.com/k40594891/status/1340833813568528384?s=20

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Check your defender for cloud configuration on the subscription, and disable auto provisioning of "Microsoft Defender for Container"
