= Mint Mode
Mint Mode is supported for AWS, GCP, and Azure.
The default and recommended best practice for running {product-title} is to run
the installer with an administrator-level cloud credential. The `admin` credential is
stored in the `kube-system` namespace, and then used by the Cloud Credential
Operator to process the `CredentialRequests` in the cluster and create new users
for each with specific permissions.
The benefits of Mint Mode include:
* Each cluster component only has the permissions it requires.
* Automatic, on-going reconciliation for cloud credentials including upgrades,
which might require additional credentials or permissions.
One drawback is that Mint Mode requires `admin` credential storage in a cluster
`kube-system` secret.
