Azure AKS Workload Identity Federation — AZURE architecture diagram

About This Architecture

Secretless pod authentication on AKS: a pod requests a token through workload identity federation — the AKS OIDC issuer is federated to Entra ID — then accesses Azure Key Vault and Azure SQL with a scoped token. No secret is stored in the pod; the cluster and the Azure identity services are grouped to show the federated trust path.
