Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enabling a trusted and secured client-server model in a container orchestration environment. Various embodiments provide a trusted and secured client-server model leverages the concept of self-signed TLS certificates to automate and efficiently manage TLS connections. In some embodiments a Kubernetes API server injects a service token into each pod in a cluster. The Kubernetes API server also injects the certificate used to generate the service token. In a client server model between pods, clients can use the same service token as its identity to the server and the server can use the same certificate for validating the token. In this way, trust is established using token-based authentication between clients and servers.
