Configuring your azure account - extrimian/documentation GitHub Wiki

  1. Client ID and Tenant ID
  2. Secret ID
  3. Subscription ID

The next step after downloading and setting up your RSKEC account is to configure your account to get your Azure Data which is used when creating locations in RSKEC.

  • Client ID: Client ID is the ID of the specific application you have created in Azure Active Directory, you will likely have many applications for different purposes.
  • Tenant ID: Tenant ID identifies which Azure instance the application sits under, so Azure knows where to look when you request things using that client ID.
  • Secret ID: Secrets are any sequence of bytes under 10 KB like connection strings, account keys, or the passwords for private key files.
  • Subscription ID: Subscription ID uniquely identifies the subscription to use for your Azure services.

Note: Client ID AKS and Client AKS secret are used for creating your AKS(Azure Kubernetes Services) cluster in azure. This is done to provide an extra layer of security and configuration when using azure. The value for Client ID AKS and Secret ID AKS are the same as the Client ID and Secret ID i.e the values remain the same. You can check here to read more on how and why this is used.
