FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.30 [beta] This page explains how user namespaces are used in Kubernetes pods. A user namespace isolates the user running inside the container from the one in the host. A process running as root in a container can run as a different (non-root) user in the host; in other words, the process has full privileges for operations inside the user namespace, but is unprivileged for operations outside the namespace.
