Nimrod Gilboa Markevich	2834ae1e85	Support custom RBAC resources (#572 ) Motivation: Allow users to change the default RBAC resources (ServiceAccount, ClusterRole, ClusterRoleBinding, Role and RoleBinding) without having Mizu delete them every run. Adds app.kubernetes.io/created-by and app.kubernetes.io/managed-by labels to all resources. The value of app.kubernetes.io/created-by is either mizu-cli or mizu-agent. The value of app.kubernetes.io/managed-by is mizu. When Mizu cleans resources (ctrl-c in tap cmd or mizu clean cmd) it removes all RBAC resources that have managed-by=mizu, and only those. A user may have a ClusterRole named mizu-clusterrole. If it doesn't have the label app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=mizu, then Mizu won't overwrite it and won't delete it. Other resources (deployments, services etc.) are always removed, regardless of their labels.	2022-01-04 09:48:22 +02:00
