⁠🔓 Security

RKE2 requires a lot of permissions to work properly therefore by running this container image you are essentially giving control to RKE2. If a vulnerability exists in RKE2 (or in Kubernetes), then your device can also become vulnerable. Make sure you understand the risks and you know how to properly secure your Kubernetes cluster before using this container image!
