Kubernetes log, User "system:serviceaccount:default:default" cannot get services in the namespace

Creating a namespace won't, of course, solve the issue, as that is not the problem at all.

In the first error the issue is that serviceaccount default in default namespace can not get services because it does not have access to list/get services. So what you need to do is assign a role to that user using clusterrolebinding.

Following the set of minimum privileges, you can first create a role which has access to list services:

kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  namespace: default
  name: service-reader
rules:
- apiGroups: [""] # "" indicates the core API group
  resources: ["services"]
  verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]

What above snippet does is create a clusterrole which can list, get and watch services. (You will have to create a yaml file and apply above specs)

Now we can use this clusterrole to create a clusterrolebinding:

kubectl create clusterrolebinding service-reader-pod \
  --clusterrole=service-reader  \
  --serviceaccount=default:default

In above command the service-reader-pod is name of clusterrolebinding and it is assigning the service-reader clusterrole to default serviceaccount in default namespace. Similar steps can be followed for the second error you are facing.

In this case I created clusterrole and clusterrolebinding but you might want to create a role and rolebinding instead. You can check the documentation in detail here

You should bind service account system:serviceaccount:default:default (which is the default account bound to Pod) with role cluster-admin, just create a yaml (named like fabric8-rbac.yaml) with following contents:

# NOTE: The service account `default:default` already exists in k8s cluster.
# You can create a new account following like this:
#---
#apiVersion: v1
#kind: ServiceAccount
#metadata:
#  name: <new-account-name>
#  namespace: <namespace>

---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: fabric8-rbac
subjects:
  - kind: ServiceAccount
    # Reference to upper's `metadata.name`
    name: default
    # Reference to upper's `metadata.namespace`
    namespace: default
roleRef:
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: cluster-admin
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io

Then, apply it by running kubectl apply -f fabric8-rbac.yaml.

If you want unbind them, just run kubectl delete -f fabric8-rbac.yaml.
