Managed identity

To stage data on Azure when mappings are in advanced mode, you can either specify the required details in the additional properties in the Hive connection or you can configure managed identity for the Secure Agent to access Microsoft Azure storage account

The Secure Agent uses a managed identity to log in to the Microsoft Azure cloud and to create an

advanced cluster

. When you configure managed identity, the agent, by default, uses the managed identity to access the staging directory on the Azure storage account.

To use managed identity to stage data in Azure, complete the following tasks:

Create a managed identity.

For instructions about creating a managed identity, refer to the Microsoft Azure documentation.

Create an agent role to define the permissions for the managed identity.

Add role assignments to assign the agent role to the managed identity and to assign the managed identity to the Secure Agent machine.

For more information, see the "Create a managed identity for the Secure Agent" topic in the

Advanced Clusters

help.
