Description: RunAsUser is a security context configuration in container orchestration platforms that allows specifying the user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) with which a container will run. This feature is fundamental for permission management and security in container environments, as it enables administrators to precisely define which users have access to system resources. By setting specific UID and GID, access to files and directories can be restricted, as well as controlling the operations that the container can perform on the host system. This configuration is especially relevant in multi-user environments and in applications that require a high level of security, as it helps mitigate risks associated with running containers with elevated privileges. Additionally, it allows compliance with security best practices, such as the principle of least privilege, which suggests that processes should run with the minimum privileges necessary to perform their task. In summary, RunAsUser is a key tool for security and access management in container orchestration systems, facilitating more granular control over how containers run in a cluster.
