Task 6: Create a Service Connection for Resource Group Deployment using Managed Identity and Workload Identity Federation Step 1: Understand the Requirements
* You want to deploy resources in the RGHod489Q1628 resource group.
* The service connection must:
* Use the ManagedJd1 managed identity.
* Use workload identity federation (OIDC-based authentication for enhanced security).
Step 2: Verify Prerequisites
* You need to ensure:
* The ManagedJd1 managed identity exists in your Azure subscription.
* Your Azure DevOps project (Project1) is linked to an Azure Active Directory tenant (for OIDC support).
* You have the Owner or User Access Administrator role on the RGHod489Q1628 resource group.
Step 3: Assign Role to Managed Identity
* Go to the Azure Portal.
* In the search bar, type Managed Identities and select Managed Identities.
* Locate and click on the ManagedJd1 identity.
* In the left menu, click Azure role assignments.
* Click + Add role assignment.
* Set the following:
* Scope: Resource Group
* Subscription: Your subscription
* Resource Group: RGHod489Q1628
* Role: Contributor (or appropriate role)
* Click Save.
This step ensures ManagedJd1 has permissions to deploy resources to RGHod489Q1628.
Step 4: Create a Federated Credential for Workload Identity Federation
* In the Azure Portal, navigate to the ManagedJd1 managed identity.
* In the left menu, click Workload identity federation (preview).
* Click + Add a federated credential.
* Configure as follows:
* Federated credential name: devops-oidc
* Issuer: https://vstoken.actions.githubusercontent.com (or use the default https://pipelines.actions.
githubusercontent.com for Azure DevOps)
* Subject identifier: Use the following format for Azure DevOps:
css
Copy
system:azuredevops:{organizationName}:{projectName}
For example:
css
Copy
system:azuredevops:{YourOrganizationName}:{Project1}
* Audience: api://AzureADTokenExchange
* Click Add.
This federated credential establishes trust between your Azure DevOps project and the managed identity.
Step 5: Create a Service Connection in Azure DevOps
* Go to your Azure DevOps project (Project1) in the browser.
* In the left menu, click Project settings.
* Under Pipelines, click Service connections.
* Click New service connection.
* Choose Azure Resource Manager.
* Choose the authentication method:
* Select Workload identity federation.
* Configure the service connection:
* Scope level: Resource Group.
* Resource Group: RGHod489Q1628.
* Subscription: Your subscription.
* Authentication method: Managed Identity with workload identity federation.
* Managed Identity: Enter the client ID or select ManagedJd1.
* Service connection name: e.g., Project1-RGHod489Q1628-Conn.
* Grant access permission to all pipelines (recommended).
* Click Save.
Step 6: Validate the Service Connection
* After creation, click on the new service connection to Verify it.
* Ensure the connection test is successful.
* You can now use this service connection in your pipelines for deploying resources to RGHod489Q1628.
