SIG Auth Update and Deep Dive
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2019 · on Thursday, 2019-11-21· at 14:25· Room 32AB - San Diego Convention Center, Upper Level·
summary
SIG Auth reports active work to stabilize long-lived beta features, clean up deprecated admission controllers, and close tech debt; pod security policy (PSP) shows structural limits so the team proposes three buckets (privileged, restricted, default) and a migration path toward Gatekeeper/OPA with dry‑run and audit support; a new bound service account tokens flow projects tokens into volumes, adds audience binding and short expiry, and requires API flags plus client‑library updates before cluster rollout.
