How Structured Authentication Config changes Kubernetes auth, with Maksim Nabokikh

Structured Authentication Config is the most significant Kubernetes authentication system update in the last six years.

In this KubeFM episode, Maksim explains how this is going to affect you:

1. You can use multiple authentication providers simultaneously (e.g., Okta, Keycloak, GitLab) — no need for Dex.

2. You can change the configuration dynamically without restarting the API server.

3. You can use any JWT-compliant token for authentication.

4. You can use CEL (Common Expression Language) to determine whether the token's claims match the user's attributes in Kubernetes (username, group).
