Leverage first class integration with Kubernetes and kubectl command-line. - Give users a consistent, unified login experience across all your clusters, including on-premises and managed cloud environments. - Securely integrate with an enterprise IDP using standard protocols or use secure, externally managed identities instead of relying on simple, shared credentials.
