I would suggest a role binding instead of the clusterrolebinding exposed in the solution as: $ k create rolebinding deploy-b -n app-team1 --clusterrole=deployment-clusterrole --serviceaccount=app-team1:cicd-token With this, we scope resource creation to the namespace app-team1 as stated in the excercise. To check, simply issue commands: $ k auth can-i create deployment -n app-team1 --as system:serviceaccount:app-team1:cicd-token ==> yes $ k auth can-i create deployment -n default --as system:serviceaccount:app-team1:cicd-token ==> no

clusterRoles are not bound to a namespace. If we wanted to bind the pemissions to a specific namspace, we would create a role and not a clusterrole. So, clusterrolebinding is correct.

"limited to the namespace app-team" means roleBinding also fine. Are the question on exam really in this broken english?

Alternatively, a RoleBinding can reference a ClusterRole and bind that ClusterRole to the namespace of the RoleBinding. If you want to bind a ClusterRole to all the namespaces in your cluster, you use a ClusterRoleBinding.

dont fall for this! create clusterrole and follow instructions given! you can specify the namespace when your creating a clusterrolebdinding just as you have been asked in the question 'limited to the namespace app-team, also dont forget to create the serviceaccount on the same namespace app-team1

Clusterrolebinding or rolebinding ? Some confusing answers
upvoted 1 times
orangelemons

the question clearly states to create a clusterrole but never mentioned using a clusterrolebinding, instead it states to limit the binding to the namespace app-team1. So, it should be rolebinding.

kubectl create clusterrolebinding cicd-token-binding --clusterrole=deployment-clusterrole --serviceaccount=app-team1:cicd-token -n app-team1 - will not work as there is no namespace (-n) option for clusterrolebinding - if you do create a CRB it will give CR permissions to the user for the whole cluster
