This release of the Cloudera Management Console service introduces the following changes:

Azure certificate credentials and managed identity for AKS

You can use certificate based authentication with managed identity when using AKS clusters for Data Services. Certificate based authentication uses asymmetric authentication based on private-keys and public-keys, and does not rely on sharing secrets. In order to use certificate credentials, you need to create user-assigned managed identity. The managed identity can be attached to the Cloudera environment.

For more information see the following documentations:

• Prerequisites for the provisioning credential
• Generate and register Azure certificate credentials
• Using a user-managed identity for AKS clusters
• Encrypting VM disks with customer managed keys
