Kubernetes authentication resources define the mechanisms and objects used to verify the identity of users, services, and components interacting with the cluster. These include ServiceAccounts, TokenRequests, TokenReviews, CertificateSigningRequests, ClusterTrustBundles, and SelfSubjectReviews, which collectively provide a robust and flexible authentication system for secure access control and identity verification within Kubernetes clusters.
Under development
A ServiceAccount in Kubernetes is an identity used by pods to authenticate and interact with the cluster API. It provides a way to grant specific permissions to workloads, enabling secure access to resources without relying on user credentials.
Under development
The TokenRequest in Kubernetes allows workloads to obtain short-lived, audience-bound tokens for authentication. These tokens are typically used for secure communication with the Kubernetes API or external services, providing improved security over long-lived service account tokens.
Under development
The TokenReview template is designed to define the specifications for validating authentication tokens within a Kubernetes cluster.
Under development
The CertificateSigningRequest (CSR) template streamlines the process of requesting X.509 certificates in Kubernetes, crucial for secure cluster communication. It combines Kubernetes' certificate management capabilities with our configfacet's modular, facet-based design, enabling standardized, flexible, and automated certificate requests while minimizing errors and simplifying customization.
