Understanding the scenario#

Security implementation is a game between a team with a total lock-down strategy and a team that plans to win by providing complete freedom to everyone. You can think of it as a battle between anarchists and totalitarians. The only way the game can be won is if both blend into something new. The only viable strategy is freedom without sacrificing security (too much).

Right now, our cluster is as secured as it can get. There is only one user (you). No one else can operate it. The others cannot even list the Pods in the cluster. You are the judge, the jury, and the executioner. You are the undisputed king with god-like powers that are not shared with anyone else.

The I-and-only-I-can-do-things strategy works well when simulating a cluster on a laptop. It serves the purpose when the only goal is to learn alone.
