This lightning talk introduces a high-velocity architectural pattern for modernising legacy identity without rewriting underlying application code. The presentation details how to deploy Keycloak as an identity broker directly at the AKS cluster edge. By leveraging native Kubernetes ingress controllers to intercept unauthenticated requests, Keycloak dynamically wraps outdated login mechanisms into standardised OIDC protocols.

Attendees acquire a rapid-deployment strategy to secure vulnerable monolithic endpoints instantly. The session provides a definitive blueprint for bridging the identity gap, allowing infrastructure teams to enforce zero-trust policies across hybrid AKS workloads while long-term application modernisation continues seamlessly in the background.
