Lightning Talk: I Got your RBAC - kube-rbac-proxy - Frederic Branczyk, CoreOS (Any Skill Level)

Kubernetes RBAC is great for authorizing requests to the Kubernetes API, and is a vital component for a secure Kubernetes cluster. Wouldn't it be great to use RBAC to authorize requests to your applications as well? In this lighting talk, Frederic will showcase kube-rbac-proxy, the tool he developed just for this use case. While operating his own Kubernetes cluster, the need came about to protect applications that don't have native authentication and authorization means to utilize the methods available by Kubernetes.
