Summary
In this chapter, we added HTTPS security and identity control to our guestbook application without actually changing the source code. We started by getting the Kubernetes Ingress objects set up in our cluster. Then, we installed a certificate manager that interfaces with the Let's Encrypt API to request a certificate for the domain name we subsequently specified. We leveraged a certificate issuer to get the certificate from Let's Encrypt. We then reconfigured our Ingress to request a certificate from this issuer in the cluster.
Then, we jumped into authentication and authorization and showed you how to leverage Azure AD as an authentication provider for the guestbook application. You learned how to secure your applications on an enterprise scale. By integrating with Azure AD, you can enable any application to link to an organization's AD.
In the next chapter, you will learn how to monitor your deployments and set up alerts. You will also learn how to quickly...
