Use Terraform to Switch Azure Key Vault to Use RBAC Permisions from Access Policies Without a Downtime for Applications/Users

 For Azure Key Vaults access policies based permision setup is now legacy and all key vaults will have to use Azure RBAC permisions eventually for data access permisions according to offcial Microsft documentation here. Using terraform we can setup the changes. However, we have to be carefull about the switching to RBAC from access policies in production scenarios to avoid interptions to applications. Taking two step approach, first set RBAC permisions and in a next release performing switch to RBAC for key vault will help the transtion to be smooth. Let's look at how to setup this requirement with terraform.

The expectation is to have a keyvault setup with RBAC permisions as shown below.

 

Steps to View Dashboard of Azure Kubernetes Cluster When RBAC Enabled

Azure Kubernetes Services offers you to host your containerized applications in Kubernetes without having to worry about getting the Kubernetes cluster infrastructure setting up and maintenance. Dashboard in Kubernetes helps you to monitor the status of services deployed as well as deployment states and health of the cluster etc. Let’s look at the steps required to perform to access the Kubernetes Dashboard once you have the Azure Kubernetes Service up and running with Role Base Access Control (RBAC) enabled.
