Kubernetes is a very complex product where creating and managing clusters requires a great deal of knowledge on a wide range of topics. The introduction of managed clusters brought simplicity to the process allowing users to focus on extracting the most out of the system. One of the areas of most interest and different configurations is authentication and authorization. In authentication, the main objective, and most critical of all, is to ensure the identity and validity of users and machines.
