Description

[Azure App Configuration Kubernetes Provider](https://mcr.microsoft.com/product/azure-app-configuration/kubernetes-provider/about) has released a new stable release **v2.0.0**, bringing key updates that improve both security and flexibility for your Kubernetes deployments:

- **Enhanced Security**: The new release requires a user-provided service account for authentication, using AKS Workload Identity to boost security . This reduces the risk of sharing service accounts across namespaces. Check [Use workload identity](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-app-configuration/reference-kubernetes-provider?tabs=default#use-workload-identity) to learn the new method. If you need more time to adjust, you can temporarily [enable the legacy option](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-app-configuration/quickstart-azure-kubernetes-service#why-am-i-unable-to-authenticate-with-azure-app-configuration-using-workload-identity-after-upgrading-the-provider-to-version-200) of using provider's service account, note that it will be deprecated in the future.
- **Expanded Platform Compatibility**: The provider now supports multi-platform images, including **linux/amd **and** linux/arm64**, making it easier to deploy across a variety of Kubernetes environments.

This update makes your deployments more secure and adaptable. Check out the [full documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-app-configuration/quickstart-azure-kubernetes-service) for more information on how to leverage the new version.

Additionally, the [App Configuration extension for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/aks/azure-app-configuration) is fully supported by this latest release, ensuring a seamless integration experience!
