The Kubernetes API server exposes an HTTP API that lets end-users, different parts of your cluster, and external components communicate with one another. But how is access to the API restricted only to authorized users? In this article, you will cover: 1. The difference between externally managed and internal identities. 2. How the Kubernetes API server implements different authentication plugins to authenticate users, such as static token, bearer token, X509 certificate, OIDC, etc. 3. How Kubernetes assigns identities for internal users with Service Accounts. 4. The difference between tokens created through Secrets and Service Account tokens created by the Kubelet. 5. How Federated OIDC works and how it can be integrated with a cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services. 6. How to use the Token Review API to verify Service Account tokens' validity within the cluster. Full article here: https://learnk8s.io/authentication-kubernetes
