RBAC is a crucial topic in Kubernetes that requires understanding for proper implementation and debugging.
- RBAC is directly related to security and can become complicated if not implemented correctly.
- Focus on understanding RBAC concepts before creating service accounts, roles, and role bindings.
RBAC is used to manage access to users in a Kubernetes cluster
- RBAC is essential when using Kubernetes in organizations to define access for different teams
- RBAC ensures that users have appropriate access based on their roles
Kubernetes offloads user management to Identity providers.
- Kubernetes does not deal with user management.
- Service accounts can be created to log into a Kubernetes cluster.
Kubernetes offloads user management to API server and supports identity providers like IM users
- Kubernetes uses API server as an oauth server for user management
- Identity providers like IM users can be used to log into Kubernetes cluster
Introduction to Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
- Kubernetes uses service accounts to manage access to resources
- Kubernetes supports role and role binding to grant access to service accounts and users
Roles and Role Bindings are used to assign permissions to users or service accounts in Kubernetes.
- Roles define the permissions for accessing resources within a single namespace or across the cluster.
- Role bindings attach roles to specific users or service accounts, granting them the defined permissions.
You can access OpenShift and Kubernetes cluster for free for 30 days through OpenShift Sandbox.
- The OpenShift Sandbox provides a free trial for 30 days to access a shared OpenShift and Kubernetes cluster.
- To start the sandbox, you need to create a Red Hat account or use an existing one.
With Dev Sandbox, you can get a shared OpenShift cluster for 30 days in no time.
- Dev Sandbox uses an identity provider, such as Red Hat account, to define the user's access level and permissions.
- The OpenShift cluster assigned to the user is based on their specific information and is a dedicated environment for 30 days.
