description: Using authentic to provide OIDC auth to a Kubernetes cluster

# Authentic-ate yourself to your Kubernetes cluster
Following up on our recent [authentik][k8s/authentik] recipe, I've updated our Kubernetes "Essentials" section to include cluster OIDC authentication, provided by authentik (among others).
<!-- more -->
## Why bother with OIDC cluster authentication?
Consider the following downsides to a single, static, long-lived credential:
1. It can get stolen
2. It can't be shared (*you might want to give your team access to the cluster, or even a limited subset of admin access*)
3. It can't be MFA'd
4. Using it for the Kubernetes Dashboard (*copying and pasting a token into a browser window*) is a huge PITA
For the multi-step process to address all of this, see our [Kubernetes OIDC Authentication guide](/kubernetes/oidc-authentication/)!
