Azure Kubernetes related application and resource group

Question

Hi,
I am not quite familiar with Azure AKS.
I found there is a special Application, which got type managed Identities and same name with my subscription name of my tenant, which in my case, is azr-verginia-hd1. The application has been used in K8s for create disk. And a resource group MC_azr-virginia2-hd1_azr-virginia2-hd1_eastus2 looks combines with some name of subscribtion.

Am I missed configured anything Or those applications and resource group are auto-generated by Azure? they are been used to do actions or group resource of k8s related? I was using command line to help set up env, Could I know where are those name inherent from?

Hi @Siqing Zheng

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

For your follow up question, if you are talking about the managed identities, when you deploy an AKS cluster, a system-assigned managed identity is automatically created, and it's managed by the Azure platform, so it doesn't require you to provision or rotate any secrets. For more information, see managed identities for Azure resources.
