Secure Microservice with Azure AD
Ashirwad Satapathi, Abhishek Mishra · Apress eBooks · 2022
You must secure the microservices-based applications you are building. Only authorized users and applications who have access to the microservices should be allowed to access them. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is an Identity-as-a-Service (iDaaS) offering that you can use to configure authentication for your microservices. You can easily configure Azure AD for your application and use it for authentication and authorization purposes. In the previous chapter we developed a simple Math microservices application and orchestrated it in the Azure Kubernetes Service. However, we did not secure it and anyone could access the application.
