= Mint mode
|
|
|
|
Mint mode is the default Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) credentials mode for {product-title} on platforms that support it. In this mode, the CCO uses the provided administrator-level cloud credential to run the cluster. Mint mode is supported for AWS and GCP.
|
|
|
|
In mint mode, the `admin` credential is stored in the `kube-system` namespace and then used by the CCO to process the `CredentialsRequest` objects in the cluster and create users for each with specific permissions.
|
|
|
|
The benefits of mint mode include:
|
|
|
|
* Each cluster component has only the permissions it requires
|
|
* Automatic, on-going reconciliation for cloud credentials, including additional credentials or permissions that might be required for upgrades
|
|
|
|
One drawback is that mint mode requires `admin` credential storage in a cluster `kube-system` secret.
