Role Based access Control
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a method of controlling access to Kubernetes resources based on the roles assigned to users or groups. RBAC involves creating roles and binding them to users or groups to control access to Kubernetes resources. Roles are defined as a set of rules that determine what actions can be performed on specific resources. By assigning roles to users or groups, access to Kubernetes resources can be restricted or granted based on the permissions defined in the role. RBAC helps ensure the security and integrity of Kubernetes clusters by limiting access to authorized users and groups.

Here are key points from the Kubernetes RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) best practices:
- Principle of Least Privilege: Assign minimal permissions for roles to reduce security risks.
- Granularity: Use fine-grained roles over broader permissions to limit access to critical resources.
- Role Reviews: Regularly audit roles and their permissions.
- Namespace Segmentation: Isolate workloads and permissions by using separate namespaces.
- RBAC Binding: Carefully bind roles to users or groups with clear responsibilities.
