Here are some examples of using PowerShell to integrate AKS with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD):
- Enable Azure AD integration:
To enable Azure AD integration with AKS using PowerShell, you can use the Set-AzAks cmdlet with the -EnableAzureRBAC and -EnableAzureAD parameters, as follows:
Set-AzAks -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name myAKSCluster -EnableAzureRBAC -EnableAzureAD
- Assign RBAC roles using Azure AD groups:
To assign RBAC roles to an Azure AD group, you can use the New-AzRoleAssignment cmdlet with the -SignInName parameter, as follows:
New-AzRoleAssignment -ObjectId <ObjectID of Azure AD group> -RoleDefinitionName "Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster User Role" -Scope /subscriptions/<Subscription ID>/resourcegroups/myResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters/myAKSCluster
- Use Azure AD for authentication:
To authenticate to the AKS cluster using Azure AD, you can use the Connect-AzAks cmdlet with the -Aad parameter, as follows:
Connect-AzAks -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name myAKSCluster -Aad
- Use Azure AD for pod identities:
To create an Azure AD Pod Identity using PowerShell, you can use the New-AzUserAssignedIdentity cmdlet to create a user-assigned identity, and then use the Add-AzAksPodIdentity cmdlet to add the identity to the AKS cluster, as follows:
New-AzUserAssignedIdentity -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name myIdentity
Add-AzAksPodIdentity -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name myAKSCluster -IdentityName myIdentity -IdentityNamespace default
These are just some examples of how to use PowerShell to integrate AKS with Azure AD. There are many other PowerShell cmdlets available for managing AKS and Azure AD resources, allowing you to fully automate the integration process.

Describe AKS and Active Directory with using the Azure Portal
Here are the steps to integrate Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) using the Azure portal:
- Create an Azure AD application:
- Sign in to the Azure portal and navigate to Azure Active Directory.
- Click on “App registrations” and then click “New registration”.
- Enter a name for the application, select “Accounts in this organizational directory only” for the supported account types, and enter a redirect URI.
- Click “Register” to create the application.
- Create a service principal:
- After the application is created, click on “Certificates & secrets” and then click “New client secret”.
- Enter a description for the secret and select an expiration time.
- Click “Add” to create the secret.
- Click on “Overview” and note the “Application (client) ID” and “Directory (tenant) ID”. These will be used later to configure AKS.
- Grant permissions to the application:
- Navigate to the “API permissions” section of the application and click “Add a permission”.
- Select “Microsoft Graph” and then select the “Application permissions” or “Delegated permissions” that you want to grant to the application.
- Click “Add permissions” to grant the permissions.
- Enable Azure AD integration in AKS:
- Navigate to the AKS cluster in the Azure portal and click on “Authentication” under the “Security + networking” section.
- Select “Azure Active Directory” and enter the “Application (client) ID” and “Directory (tenant) ID” from the Azure AD application.
- Click “Save” to enable Azure AD integration.
- Configure RBAC:
- Navigate to the “Access control (IAM)” section of the AKS cluster and click “Add”.
- Select the Azure AD application that you created earlier and then select the desired role assignments, such as “Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster User Role”.
- Click “Save” to configure RBAC.
- Connect to AKS using Azure AD:
- To connect to AKS using Azure AD, you need to install the Kubernetes command-line tool (kubectl) and the Azure CLI.
- Run the following command to log in to Azure using the Azure CLI:
az login --tenant <your-tenant-id>
- Run the following command to get the AKS credentials:
az aks get-credentials --resource-group <your-resource-group> --name <your-aks-cluster> --admin
- Run the following command to verify that you can connect to the AKS cluster:
kubectl get nodes
That’s it! You have now integrated AKS with Azure AD using the Azure portal and can use Azure AD for authentication and RBAC in your AKS cluster.
