OpenID Connect

OpenID Connect page

Rather than relying on static passwords, which can raise a security risk, you can use single sign-on (SSO) authentication to access your Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes offers the ability to use an OpenID Connect (OIDC) token to authenticate for SSO, which provides a user-friendly login experience. OIDC supports identity providers such as Salesforce, Azure AD, and Google, which will give you an access token, an ID token, and a refresh token. The ID token is a JWT that you can then use for authorization.

Kubernetes, an automated system for managing containerized applications, offers multiple benefits to developers. It eliminates application downtime by creating a new pod automatically when an existing pod crashes, and it allows teams to easily scale applications for traffic increases or decreases. Many organizations are moving their existing applications to Kubernetes due to these and other features.
