Deploy Profile to Cluster

Enable Profile Agent on Cluster

Before you can deploy a PMK RBAC profile on to a cluster, you need to enable the PMK profile agent for that cluster. You can do this when creating a new cluster by including the Profile Agent in the cluster creation wizard. Use the advanced cluster creation wizard in the PMK UI, select your Kubernetes version to be 1.21 or higher, and the Profile engine option will become visible to you in the wizard under Application & Container Settings. Check the box next to that option to enable that feature.

Deploy a Profile to a Cluster

In the RBAC Profile tab, users can deploy a profile by clicking on the radio button to select the specific profile name, then click on the Deploy button. This opens a new window where we can review the profile summary, the name of the cluster it will be applied to, and the number of roles that will be applied. Next, select the cluster to apply the profile to. And finally, click the Deploy button again to implement the change.

Note that we can also click on Show Impact Analysis button to show what effect the change will have.
