Operator RBAC from Code Markers
I still remember the late-night debugging session. I was staring at a permission denied
error in our Kubernetes integration testing operator logs. We'd just introduced
a new custom resource. Despite our best efforts, the operator couldn't get the
permissions it needed to update the status field. We meticulously crafted
the RBAC YAML. We tried to grant just enough access, but the Kubernetes API
kept rejecting our requests. This was a familiar frustration, common in every
operator project I'd touched. The manual process of defining roles, role
bindings, and service accounts, then syncing them, felt like a constant
uphill battle. It ate into valuable development time.
