Authentication Issues deploying to Azure Kubernetes Cluster

[Sunil Lath]

When trying to apply/deploy a containerized image from an azure container repository to an Azure Kubernetes cluster we get the following issue:

We are required to authenticate / approve access from within the bitbucket deployment pipeline, which isn't a workable when setting up an automated deployment pipeline. 

Any workarounds / fixes for this would be appreciated.

@Sunil Lath hi. Thanks for your question.
Maybe this article will help you.

Thanks @Igor Stoyanov - this does look promising, will try and get a AKS k8s service account setup and see if that allows us access to deploy via our bitbucket pipelines.

The example is using AzureDevOps but will give it a go via bitbucket, I've seen examples that setup the kubeconfig based on the k8s service account here:
