Multi-team platform, mission 3 of 5

Look, don't touch

intermediate, about 8 minutes, in the Kubernetes Simulator

The briefing

alice joins the on-call rota. She needs to see what runs in both team namespaces — pods, deployments, events — without being able to change anything, or to read the payment keys.

You don't need to write a Role for this. Kubernetes ships ClusterRoles for the common cases: view (read everything but Secrets), edit, admin. A RoleBinding in a namespace can grant a ClusterRole there, and only there.

What you'll do

  • alice can list pods and deployments in checkout and search
  • …but can't read secrets or change anything
  • Bonus star: Try it as alice: kubectl get pods --as=alice

The mission checks the cluster, not your keystrokes: any fix that works, passes.
