Details

Details tab contains attributes below about the managed cluster.

Attribute Description
Name The display name of the managed cluster with tenant suffix
Location The Azure region where the AKS cluster is deployed
Kubernetes Version The Kubernetes version running on the cluster (e.g., 1.29.7)
DNS Prefix The DNS prefix used for the cluster’s API server FQDN
FQDN The fully qualified domain name of the cluster API server
Provisioning State The provisioning state of the managed cluster (e.g., Succeeded)
Power State The power state of the cluster (e.g., Running, Stopped)
Enable RBAC Indicates whether Kubernetes role-based access control is enabled on the cluster
Node Count The number of nodes in the default node pool
Tenant The tenant the managed cluster belongs to

Managed Identities

The Managed Identities tab lists Azure Active Directory service principals (managed identities) assigned to the managed cluster. A managed identity lets the AKS cluster (and the workloads inside it) authenticate to other Azure resources (e.g. Key Vault, Storage, SQL) without storing credentials in code or configuration. Any role granted to an identity listed here is effectively granted to this cluster, so these identities are part of its attack surface.

Attribute Description
Name The display name of the managed identity with tenant suffix
Display Name The display name of the service principal
Type The service principal type (e.g., ManagedIdentity)
