Implementing RBAC for Kubernetes Cluster
Overview
Configure Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to enforce least-privilege access to cluster resources. This skill covers Role/ClusterRole design, RoleBinding configuration, service account security, namespace isolation, and audit logging for multi-tenant Kubernetes environments.
Objectives
- Design RBAC role hierarchy for multi-tenant clusters
- Create granular Roles and ClusterRoles for different personas
- Configure RoleBindings and ClusterRoleBindings with least privilege
- Secure service accounts and limit their default permissions
- Integrate RBAC with external identity providers (OIDC)
- Audit and monitor RBAC usage with Kubernetes audit logs
Key Concepts
RBAC API Objects
- Role: Namespace-scoped permissions (pods, services, deployments within a namespace)
- ClusterRole: Cluster-wide permissions (nodes, namespaces, PVs, CRDs)
- RoleBinding: Grants Role to users/groups/serviceAccounts in a namespace
- ClusterRoleBinding: Grants ClusterRole cluster-wide
