Run Tilt images as root for faster reload
Previously, when triggering a Tilt reload via a *.go file change, a reload would
take ~13 seconds and we would see this error message in the Tilt logs for each
component.

  Live Update failed with unexpected error:
    command terminated with exit code 2
  Falling back to a full image build + deploy

Now, Tilt should reload images a lot faster (~3 seconds) since we are running
the images as root.

Note! Reloading the Concierge component still takes ~13 seconds because there
are 2 containers running in the Concierge namespace that use the Concierge
image: the main Concierge app and the kube cert agent pod. Tilt can't live
reload both of these at once, so the reload takes longer and we see this error
message.

  Will not perform Live Update because:
    Error retrieving container info: can only get container info for a single pod; image target image:image/concierge has 2 pods
  Falling back to a full image build + deploy

Pinniped Logo

Overview

Pinniped provides identity services to Kubernetes.

Pinniped allows cluster administrators to easily plug in external identity providers (IDPs) into Kubernetes clusters. This is achieved via a uniform install procedure across all types and origins of Kubernetes clusters, declarative configuration via Kubernetes APIs, enterprise-grade integrations with IDPs, and distribution-specific integration strategies.

Example Use Cases

  • Your team uses a large enterprise IDP, and has many clusters that they manage. Pinniped provides:
    • Seamless and robust integration with the IDP
    • Easy installation across clusters of any type and origin
    • A simplified login flow across all clusters
  • Your team shares a single cluster. Pinniped provides:
    • Simple configuration to integrate an IDP
    • Individual, revocable identities

Architecture

The Pinniped Supervisor component offers identity federation to enable a user to access multiple clusters with a single daily login to their external IDP. The Pinniped Supervisor supports various external IDP types.

The Pinniped Concierge component offers credential exchange to enable a user to exchange an external credential for a short-lived, cluster-specific credential. Pinniped supports various authentication methods and implements different integration strategies for various Kubernetes distributions to make authentication possible.

The Pinniped Concierge can be configured to hook into the Pinniped Supervisor's federated credentials, or it can authenticate users directly via external IDP credentials.
