 Kubernetes RBAC provides granular filtering of user actions. With this control mechanism:

 * You can scope permissions to a single namespace or across the entire AKS cluster.

 1. Run `az login` to authenticate to Azure.
 1. Run `az aks get-credentials` to download credentials for the cluster into `.kube/config`.
