The Kerberos login will be periodically renewed using the provided
credentials, and new delegation
tokens for supported will be created.
+## Secure Interaction with Kubernetes
+
+When talking to Hadoop-based services behind Kerberos, it was noted that
Spark needs to obtain delegation tokens
+so that non-local processes can authenticate. These delegation tokens in
Kubernetes are stored in Secrets that are
+shared by the Driver and its Executors. As such, there are three ways of
submitting a Kerberos job:
+
+In all cases you must define the environment variable: `HADOOP_CONF_DIR`
as well as either
+`spark.kubernetes.kerberos.krb5.location` or
`spark.kubernetes.kerberos.krb5.configMapName`.
+
+It also important to note that the KDC needs to be visible from inside the
containers if the user uses a local
+krb5 file.
+
+If a user wishes to use a remote HADOOP_CONF directory, that contains the
Hadoop configuration files, this could be
+achieved by mounting a pre-defined ConfigMap in the desired location that
you can point to via the appropriate configs.

It's better to mention that users need to set the environment variable
`HADOOP_CONF_DIR` on the container pointing to the path where the ConfigMap is
mounted.
