Integrate with AKS

With Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) on Microsoft Azure, AKS simplifies the management complexities of Kubernetes.

Through this integration, Apono helps you securely manage access to your Microsoft Azure Kubernetes cluster.

Prerequisites

Before starting this integration, create or obtain the items listed in the following table.

Item	Description
Apono Connector	On-prem connection installed on the AKS cluster that serves as a bridge between the cluster and Apono
Apono Premium	Apono plan providing all available features and dedicated account support
User Access Administrator Role	Azure role that enables granting users the Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster User role. Apono does not require admin permissions to the Kubernetes environment.

Use the following steps to complete the integration:

On the Catalog tab, click Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The Connect Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) page appears.
From the dropdown menu, select a connector.
💡
If the desired connector is not listed, click + Add new connector and follow the instructions for creating a Kubernetes connector.

Click Next. The Complete setup page appears.
Enter a unique, alphanumeric, user-friendly Integration Name. This name is used to identify this integration when constructing an Access Flow.
Enter the Resource Group where the cluster is deployed. This is the resourceGroupName.
Enter the Cluster Name to connect. The cluster name should be the same as the resourceName in AKS.
Click Connect.
📘
When the Apono connector is installed on the AKS cluster, you do not need to enter values for the other optional fields or to provide a secret.

Now that you have completed this integration, you can create access flows that grant permission to your Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
