[Tutorial] How to Configure K8s RBAC? (Part 1)
A working tutorial, not just YAML files’ skeletons, as on any other website
Before we start our human-developed tutorial, let’s watch a 3-min testing video that I generated using Invideo AI. Please let me know your thoughts on it.
What is RBAC?
RBAC stands for Role-Based Access Control. In K8s, it determines who is allowed to access what, with what permissions, and at what level. It’s the primary authorization mechanism for controlling access to API resources, including Pods, Deployments, Secrets, ConfigMaps, and more.
The two levels are namespace or cluster-wide.
What are the RBAC components?
Kubernetes RBAC is built on four API objects:
Object Purpose
Role Defines permissions within a namespace.
ClusterRole Defines permissions cluster-wide or across all namespaces.
RoleBinding Grants a Role to a user/service account in one namespace.
ClusterRoleBinding Grants a ClusterRole to a user/service account cluster-wide.
