  • Troubleshooting: Provides detailed steps to diagnose and resolve common issues related to token exchange, webhook injection, and RBAC permissions.
  • Use Case: Configure a pod to securely access Azure Key Vault secrets without storing credentials, by leveraging Workload Identity to authenticate the pod directly to Azure.
