FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy DataSurface on Azure AKS with PostgreSQL and Key Vault?

To deploy DataSurface on Azure AKS, you provision Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Azure SQL Database, Key Vault, and Workload Identity, plus the necessary networking and storage configurations to run DataSurface in the cloud. The guided walkthrough ensures sequential execution, environment validation, and secure credential handling.

What is Azure AKS Workload Identity and how does it handle secrets?

Azure AKS Workload Identity manages secrets by integrating Key Vault with Kubernetes service accounts through RBAC. This mechanism allows workloads to securely access credentials without hardcoding secrets, ensuring runtime integration workflows operate safely across private endpoints.

Can I reproduce Azure AKS deployments across multiple regions?

Yes, operations teams can reproduce a complete DataSurface AKS deployment across regions with consistent results and reduced setup time. The guided walkthrough standardizes infrastructure provisioning, database setup, and identity integration for repeatable Azure AKS deployments.

What's the best way to configure private endpoints in Azure AKS for DataSurface?

The best way to configure private endpoints in Azure AKS is through the guided deployment walkthrough, which covers secure networking and Kubernetes cluster configuration. This process ensures secure secret handling and proper runtime integration with Azure SQL Database and PostgreSQL.

Do I need Azure SQL Database and PostgreSQL for AKS deployment?

An end-to-end Azure AKS deployment for DataSurface provisions both Azure SQL Database and Azure Database for PostgreSQL. These databases are configured alongside Key Vault and Workload Identity to support the complete DataSurface Yellow environment infrastructure.

Why does Azure AKS deployment require sequential execution and environment validation?

Azure AKS deployment requires sequential execution and environment validation to ensure correct infrastructure provisioning, database setup, and identity integration. This structured approach guarantees credential handling and runtime integration with private endpoints and RBAC function properly.
