Why Your Kubernetes RBAC Is a Compliance Nightmare

Episode 12 of DevOps Daily digs into Kubernetes RBAC misconfigurations — the single biggest compliance blind spot in most cloud-native environments. Lucas and Luna walk through a real incident at a mid-sized fintech where a single over-permissive ClusterRole let an attacker pivot to production data. They break down the principle of least privilege, how to audit your existing RBAC bindings with open-source tooling like kubectl-who-can and rbac-lookup, and why 'it worked in staging' is a dangerous justification for overly broad permissions. The conversation closes on whether policy-as-code tools like OPA/Gatekeeper are the right next step or just another abstraction layer.
