Kubernetes doesn’t maintain a database or profiles of users and passwords. Instead, it expects it to be managed outside of the cluster. The role of RBAC is to authorize the requests. We will be creating a pod read-only user (Service account) which can get, list, watch any pod in selected namespaces.
What is RBAC?
Role-based access control (RBAC) is a method of regulating access to a computer or network resources based on the roles of individual users within your organization.
