Azure can host StrongDM nodes and manage secrets. Users can be managed via Entra ID. StrongDM can govern access to Azure and to many Microsoft resource types.

Secrets Management

StrongDM integrates with the Azure Key Vault to allow your nodes to proxy access to resources using secrets that are added and maintained in your cloud-native secrets manager.

Resources

Additionally, StrongDM offers proxied access to cloud resources using the following resource types.

Cloud Resources

• Azure Cloud - Proxy access to manage your Azure cloud via the Azure CLI. See the Azure Cloud guide for more details.

Cluster Resources

When setting up Kubernetes, it's advisable to use a Helm chart and the Kubernetes (Pod Identity) resource type. If you're manually setting up a Kubernetes resource in the cloud, you can also use the Azure-specific AKS resource type.
