Service Accounts
----------------

A `service account <https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/service-accounts-admin/>`_
is an identity for processes to run inside a pod.  These are generally created
for Cron Jobs and outside agents such as Jenkins to perform operations on the cluster.

The service account is simply a named entity within a namespace and it can be granted roles and/or
cluster roles so it can perform functions against the cluster or specific namespace.
