Cloud Discovery & Visibility (CDV) imports AKS Clusters into Address Manager as devices with the Kubernetes Clusters device subtype. Supported resources related to AKS Clusters are Load Balancers and Virtual Machine Scale Sets.

AKS tag hierarchy in Address Manager

CDV imports AKS information into Address Manager as a Tag Group with a hierarchy based on the region, cluster, and node group of the originating AKS data.

This hierarchy uses the following template:

  • Tag Group: Always named Azure Kubernetes Service
  • Level 1 tag name: The resource group name from Azure.
  • Level 2 tag name: The BlueCat configuration name.
  • Level 3 tag name: The cluster name.
  • Level 4 tag: The node pool name or agent pool name.

The same tags for clusters, node pools, and agent pools are often used across multiple configurations. This hierarchy helps distinguish similarly-named tags in different configurations from each other.
