improvement: allow namespace selection in kubernetes authentication to go over label selection #182

Closed f4z3r closed 8 months ago

f4z3r commented 1 year ago

Overview

Add possibility to reference the namespace from which ServiceAccounts authenticate via a label selector. This is useful in scenarios where Kubernetes namespaces are provided to teams by infrastructure teams, and standardized service accounts should be enabled to perform actions against Vault. At the moment, adding a namespace and service account within that namespace implies modifying the role on the Kubernetes authentication method. With this improvement, infrastructure teams can control what namespaces are allowed to connect to Vault via labels on the namespace itself.

Design of Change

See discussion in https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/issues/16222.

I will create the PR for the documentation on the main repo later this week.

Any updates on the implementation of this PR?

f4z3r commented 1 year ago

@tommy-heyde-olsen I guess I am waiting for a review. The documentation PR on the main repo is done and I added a PR to support this use case in the helm chart as well. Have not goten feedback yet though.

Would be great to see this get some attention and get merged. We could really use this feature.
