Create the dex deployment, configmap, and node port service. Create the dex deployment, configmap, and node port service. This will also create RBAC bindings allowing the Dex pod access to manage [Custom Resource Definitions](https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/master/Documentation/storage.md#kubernetes-custom-resource-definitions-crds) within Kubernetes.

The Dex pod requires access to manage [Custom Resource Definitions](https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/master/Documentation/storage.md#kubernetes-custom-resource-definitions-crds) within Kubernetes, so the example manifest also creates a service account and RBAC role bindings to provide these permissions.
__Caveats:__ No health checking is configured because dex does its own TLS termination complicating the setup. This is a known issue and can be tracked [here][dex-healthz]. __Caveats:__ No health checking is configured because dex does its own TLS termination complicating the setup.

__NOTE:__ CRDs are only supported by Kubernetes version 1.7+. Kubernetes [custom resource definitions](crd) are a way for applications to create new resources types in the Kubernetes API.
Kubernetes [custom resource definitions](crd) are a way for applications to create new resources types in the Kubernetes API. The Custom Resource Definition (CRD) API object was introduced in Kubernetes version 1.7 to replace the Third Party Resource (TPR) extension. CRDs allows dex to run on top of an existing Kubernetes cluster without the need for an external database. While this storage may not be appropriate for a large number of users, it's extremely effective for many Kubernetes use cases.

The rest of this section will explore internal details of how dex uses CRDs. __Admins should not interact with these resources directly__, except while debugging. These resources are only designed to store state and aren't meant to be consumed by end users. For modifying dex's state dynamically see the [API documentation](api.md).
