Azure AD workload identity federation with Kubernetes

Enterprises are increasingly using cloud-native technologies to build software workloads. Modern development practices are embracing concepts such as microservices and containers. Kubernetes is emerging as a popular platform for deploying software workloads. An earlier blog post discussed how Azure AD workload identity federation avoids the need for secrets when accessing Azure resources from Google cloud. This blog post explores how services running in a Kubernetes cluster can also use this capability to access Azure resources. No secrets are necessary.
