Managed Clusters
Open Unified Identities › Resources, filter Providers to Azure Resource Management › Managed Cluster, then select a row to open its details. Managed clusters are Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters.
Managed Clusters Details
Details page contains the Risk and Exposure Point of the managed cluster and the Information pane.
Information
Information Pane contains Details and Managed Identities tabs.
A Tier 0 or Tier 2 badge on the right of the Information title shows the tier of the managed cluster.
Details
Details tab contains attributes below about the managed cluster.
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
Resource Group
The resource group the managed cluster is associated with
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.
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)
