## Background
|
|
|
|
The Pinniped Concierge has two strategies available to support clusters, under the following conditions:
|
|
|
|
1. Kube Cluster Signing Certificate: Can be run on any Kubernetes cluster where a custom pod can be executed on the same node running `kube-controller-manager`.
|
|
This type of cluster is typically called "self-hosted" because the cluster's control plane is running on nodes that are part of the cluster itself.
|
|
Most managed Kubernetes services do not support this.
|
|
|
|
2. Impersonation Proxy: Can be run on any Kubernetes cluster where a `LoadBalancer` service can be created. Most cloud-hosted Kubernetes environments have this
|
|
capability. The Impersonation Proxy automatically provisions a `LoadBalancer` for ingress to the impersonation endpoint.
|
|
|
|
If a cluster is capable of supporting both strategies, the Pinniped Concierge will use the
|
|
kube cluster signing certificate strategy.
