The Great and Terrible – Access Control! And spiced up with a dash of YAML! Of course, you've heard about Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in K8s, and you've probably seen more than one presentation about how it's implemented in Kubernetes API. But I invite you to dive deeper into what "configuring access in K8s" really means in practice:
- reality vs. theory: RBAC scope and limitations;
- other K8s-native controls and 3-party solutions for the rescue;
- access control and platform components: GitOps, monitoring, storage, cloud... you got the idea;
- the role of RBAC in building K8s multi-tenancy.
This is an intermediate-level technical talk, blending storytelling with practical tips and recommendations, aimed at helping you master this not the easiest, but one of the most powerful components of K8s security.
