Just-in-Time Access To AKS
Apono liberates DevOps teams to deliver more without delay.
Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) is a cloud-based container orchestration service offered by Microsoft Azure. It provides a managed environment for deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications using Kubernetes. With AKS, developers can easily create and manage clusters of virtual machines that run containerized applications.
Just-in-time (JIT) access involves assigning permissions to users or systems in real-time as needed, rather than maintaining continuous access. This strategy is frequently employed in cybersecurity to reduce the risk of security breaches by restricting unnecessary access. It aligns with the Principle of Least Privilege (POLP), emphasizing that users should only have the minimum access levels required to fulfill their tasks.
AKS Use Cases
Developer JIT Access
- Limit access to the minimum required permissions and implementing strict controls on when those permissions are granted, JIT access helps enhance overall security. This proactive approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches.
- Integrate JIT access with your incident response plan. In the event of a security incident, having the ability to quickly adjust access permissions can be crucial for containing and mitigating the impact.
- Utilize JIT access with your identity management systems. This integration streamlines the process of aligning access permissions with changes in user roles, making it more efficient and less prone to errors.
