Check type of managed identity the cluster is used:

az aks show --name myAKSCluster --resource-group myResourceGroup --query identity.type --output tsv 

• If the cluster is using a managed identity, the value of the type property will be either SystemAssigned or UserAssigned.

• If the cluster is using a service principal, the value of the type property will be null.

Get the identity resource id:

az aks show --name myAKSCluster --resource-group myResourceGroup --query "identity"
