Multi-Tenant Kubernetes Clusters: Challenges and Useful Tooling
While RBAC is not particularly the toughest aspect of multi-tenancy, there are tools to help you with it. RBAC Manager was developed by Fairwinds to make security just a bit easier.
- RBAC and limited namespace access

RBAC for dynamic namespaces?
We have a use case similar to this and we use rbac-manager. If you can have something externally provision the namespaces with labels, I think it might work for you. If not, maybe some combination with OPA Gatekeeper could do the trick?

Upgrading Hundreds of Kubernetes Clusters
The second one is a combination of tools: External DNS, cert-manager, and NGINX ingress. Using these as a stack, you can quickly deploy an application, making it available through a DNS with a TLS without much effort via simple annotations. When I first discovered External DNS, I was amazed at its quality.

Easy HTTPS for your private networks
I've been pretty frustrated with how private CAs are supported. Your private root CA can be maliciously used to MITM every domain on the Internet, even though you intend to use it for only a couple domain names. Most people forget to set Name Constraints when they create these and many helper tools lack support [1][2]. Worse, browser support for Name Constraints has been slow [3] and support isn't well tracked [4]. Public CAs give you certificate transparency and you can subscribe to events to detect mis-issuance. Some hosted private CAs like AWS's offer logs [5], but DIY setups don't.
Even still, there are a lot of folks happily using private CAs, they aren't the target audience for this initial release.
