Next steps¶

You've now seen kubelatch working on your machine. Here's what to read next depending on what you're going to do with it.

You're going to use kubelatch with your team¶

Your team already has kubelatch deployed and you want to work with it day to day.

1. Sign in and request access: the invitation, the login, and what to ask an administrator for.
2. Get a credential and use it with kubectl, k9s, Lens and Helm.
3. Expiry and revocation and My activity.
4. If your pipelines deploy to Kubernetes: Credentials for GitHub Actions.

You're going to install and operate it¶

You want to bring it to a real environment for your organization.

1. Install on a management cluster, with TLS and Postgres.
2. GitHub login, so people sign in with their organization account.
3. Register a cluster and Grant permissions: what you did in the tutorial, for real.
4. Users and bots, CI: trust rules and Audit and retention.
5. Before production: Accounts and recovery and Upgrades and backups.

You want to understand why¶

You want to know what happened under the hood at each step of the tutorial.

• Architecture: the three pieces and where state lives.
• The journey of a request: what kubelatch does with your kubectl get pods.
• Permission tiers: why debugger required the Pod Security Admission label.
• Security model and Why a proxy.
