Managed Identity Setup

Managed Identity (MI) in Azure allows DuploCloud to authenticate securely to Azure services without managing credentials. DuploCloud requires the VM where it is installed to have owner access to the Azure subscription to launch and manage Azure resources effectively. To enable this, configure a MI in Azure for DuploCloud.

Step 1: Create a Managed Identity in Azure

1. Log in to the Azure Portal.

2. Navigate to Managed Identities.

3. Click on + Add to create a new managed identity.

4. Fill the fields:

1. Click Create and wait for the deployment to complete.

Step 2: Assign the Managed Identity to Duplo-Master VM

1. Go to Virtual Machines in the Azure portal and select the VM where DuploCloud is installed.

2. Under the Security section, select Identity.
3. Select the User assigned tab and click + Add.

Step 3: Assign Owner Role to the Managed Identity

1. Go to Subscriptions in the Azure portal, and select the subscription where resources will be launched by DuploCloud.

2. Under Access Control (IAM), click + Add -> Add role assignment.
3. Select the Privileged administrator roles tab

Step 4: Assign Owner Role to the DuploCloud VM

1. Go to Subscriptions in the Azure portal.

2. Select the subscription where resources will be launched by DuploCloud.

3. Under Access Control (IAM), click + Add -> Add role assignment.

Additional Notes

• Ensure that both the managed identity and the VM are in the same subscription where resources will be launched.

• Verify the assignments under Access Control (IAM) for both the managed identity and the VM to ensure correct configurations.
