RBAC - Create user for kubeconfig with restricted permissions (microk8s) - bis Kubernetes 1.24

Enable RBAC in microk8s

# This is important, if not enable every user on the system is allowed to do everything 
microk8s enable rbac 

Schritt 1: Nutzer-Account auf Server anlegen / in Client

cd 
mkdir -p manifests/rbac
cd manifests/rbac

Mini-Schritt 1: Definition für Nutzer

# vi service-account.yml 
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: training
  namespace: default

kubectl apply -f service-account.yml 

Mini-Schritt 2: ClusterRolle festlegen - Dies gilt für alle namespaces, muss aber noch zugewiesen werden

## Bevor sie zugewiesen ist, funktioniert sie nicht - da sie keinem Nutzer zugewiesen ist 

# vi pods-clusterrole.yml 
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
  name: pods-clusterrole
rules:
- apiGroups: [""] # "" indicates the core API group
  resources: ["pods"]
  verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]

kubectl apply -f pods-clusterrole.yml 

Mini-Schritt 3: Die ClusterRolle den entsprechenden Nutzern über RoleBinding zu ordnen

# vi rb-training-ns-default-pods.yml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
  name: rolebinding-ns-default-pods
  namespace: default
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: pods-clusterrole 
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
  name: training
  namespace: default

kubectl apply -f rb-training-ns-default-pods.yml

Mini-Schritt 4: Testen (klappt der Zugang)

kubectl auth can-i get pods -n default --as system:serviceaccount:default:training

Schritt 2: Context anlegen / Credentials auslesen und in kubeconfig hinterlegen (bis Version 1.25.)

Mini-Schritt 1: kubeconfig setzen

kubectl config set-context training-ctx --cluster microk8s-cluster --user training

# extract name of the token from here 

TOKEN=`kubectl get secret trainingtoken -o jsonpath='{.data.token}' | base64 --decode`
echo $TOKEN
kubectl config set-credentials training --token=$TOKEN
kubectl config use-context training-ctx

# Hier reichen die Rechte nicht aus 
kubectl get deploy
# Error from server (Forbidden): pods is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:kube-system:training" cannot list # resource "pods" in API group "" in the namespace "default"

Mini-Schritt 2:

kubectl config use-context training-ctx
kubectl get pods
