Authentication

Kubernetes Clusters plugins operate on a per-cluster basis and authenticate in one of two ways, as configured in the Resource Model Plugin used to fetch the nodes. This configuration is controlled by the Use Pod Service Account for Node Steps option:

  1. When disabled, the plugin uses the cloud provider credentials set in the resource model to retrieve the
    kube-config for the targeted cluster.

  2. When enabled, the Enterprise Runner must be placed in the cluster and uses its pod's K8s service account for authentication.
