This is a summary of the discussions on RBAC file management so far. The key points for considering cluster-wide RBAC management and the best practices for file management are organized below.

Cluster-Wide RBAC File Management

1. Focusing on Consistency and Efficiency

• Overall Consistency:
  Managing RBAC at the cluster level is recommended to maintain consistent security policies and access permissions across the cluster. This allows for uniform management of permissions for all applications and users, streamlining the process.

• Maintenance Efficiency:
  Since the same policies are applied cluster-wide, there is no need to set permissions individually for each application, reducing complexity. Especially in environments where many applications are running, making changes or additions becomes easier.

2. RBAC File Directory Structure

In cluster-wide RBAC management, it is important to maintain a simple and organized file structure. This makes changes and management smoother.

Example File Structure:

├── roles/
│   ├── pod-reader-clusterrole.yaml       # Role granting read permissions for Pods across the cluster
│   ├── admin-clusterrole.yaml            # Role for cluster administrators
├── rolebindings/
│   ├── pod-reader-clusterrolebinding.yaml  # Binding Role to users/groups
│   ├── admin-clusterrolebinding.yaml       # Binding administrator Role to users/groups

• roles/: Directory to manage Roles (ClusterRole) used across the entire cluster.
• rolebindings/: Directory to manage RoleBinding and ClusterRoleBinding.

With this structure, common Roles are used for all applications, allowing for centralized management.

3. Advantages of Cluster-Wide Management

• Consistent Policy Application: Applying the same access control across the cluster eliminates inconsistencies in security policies and makes management easier.

• Ideal for Large-Scale Environments: When many applications coexist, cluster-wide management is advantageous as consistent permission management is necessary.

• Simplified Changes: Changes to policies or the addition of permissions can be done in one place, making maintenance more efficient. Especially when multiple teams and users are involved, centralized management proves useful.

4. Drawbacks of Cluster-Wide RBAC Management (Supplementary)

• Lack of Flexibility: It becomes difficult to assign different permissions to individual applications and users, and there is a risk of granting excessive permissions. For cases where finer adjustments are needed for specific applications, cluster-wide management might not be suitable.

Conclusion

Cluster-wide RBAC management is highly effective for scenarios where consistent operations and efficiency in large-scale environments are prioritized. From a file management perspective, having a unified structure simplifies administration. However, when detailed permission settings are needed for individual applications, it is recommended to consider flexible management methods as needed.

Going forward, a good approach would be to manage RBAC centrally at the cluster level while adjusting for specific applications when necessary.

This format includes the key points discussed regarding cluster-wide RBAC file management and its considerations.
