Issue:
:warning: Action Required: Replace Deprecated gcr.io/kubebuilder/kube-rbac-proxy

## Description

:warning: **The image `gcr.io/kubebuilder/kube-rbac-proxy` is deprecated and will become unavailable.**
**You must move as soon as possible, sometime from early 2025, the GCR will go away.**

> _Unfortunately, we're unable to provide any guarantees regarding timelines or potential extensions at this time. Images provided under GRC will be unavailable from March 18, 2025, [as per announcement](https://cloud.google.com/artifact-registry/docs/transition/transition-from-gcr). However, `gcr.io/kubebuilder/`may be unavailable before this date due [to efforts to deprecate infrastructure](https://github.com/kubernetes/k8s.io/issues/2647)._

- **If your project uses `gcr.io/kubebuilder/kube-rbac-proxy`, it will be affected.**
  Your project may fail to work if the image cannot be pulled. **You must take action as soon as possible.**

- However, if your project is **no longer using this image**, **no action is required**, and you can close this issue.

## Using the image `gcr.io/kubebuilder/kube-rbac-proxy`?

[kube-rbac-proxy](https://github.com/brancz/kube-rbac-proxy) was historically used to protect the metrics endpoint. However, its usage has been discontinued in [Kubebuilder](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder). The default scaffold now leverages the [`WithAuthenticationAndAuthorization`](https://pkg.go.dev/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/metrics/filters#WithAuthenticationAndAuthorization) feature provided by [Controller-Runtime](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime).

This feature provides integrated support for securing metrics endpoints by embedding authentication (`authn`) and authorization (`authz`) mechanisms directly into the controller manager's metrics server, replacing the need for (https://github.com/brancz/kube-rbac-proxy) to secure metrics endpoints.

### What To Do?

**You must replace the deprecated image `gcr.io/kubebuilder/kube-rbac-proxy` with an alternative approach. For example:**
- Update your project to use [`WithAuthenticationAndAuthorization`](https://pkg.go.dev/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/metrics/filters#WithAuthenticationAndAuthorization):
  > _You can fully upgrade your project to use the latest scaffolds provided by the tool or manually make the necessary changes. Refer to the [FAQ and Discussion](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/discussions/3907) for detailed instructions on how to manually update your project and test the changes._
- Alternatively, replace the image with another trusted source at your own risk, as its usage has been discontinued in Kubebuilder.

**For further information, suggestions, and guidance:**
- 📖 [FAQ and Discussion](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/discussions/3907)
- 💬 Join the Slack channel: [#kubebuilder](https://communityinviter.com/apps/kubernetes/community#kubebuilder).

> **NOTE:** _This issue was opened automatically as part of our efforts to identify projects that might be affected and to raise awareness about this change within the community. If your project is no longer using this image, **feel free to close this issue**._

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

**Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!** :pray:

+### How to deploy Agent components using the secret backend feature with the DatadogAgent (Operator 1.11+)
 
-If using a custom script, create a Datadog Agent (or Cluster Agent) image following the example for the Datadog Operator above. Then, to activate the secret backend feature in the `DatadogAgent` configuration, the `spec.credentials.useSecretBackend` parameter should be set to `true`.

+The environment variable `DD_SECRET_BACKEND_COMMAND` from this configuration is automatically applied to all the deployed components: node Agent, Cluster Agent, and Cluster Checks Runners. Ensure the image you are using for all the components includes your command.
 
-As in the Datadog Operator, the Datadog Agent image includes a helper function `readsecret.sh` that can be used to read mounted secrets. After creating the secret and setting the volume mount (in any container that requires it), set the `DD_SECRET_BACKEND_COMMAND` and `DD_SECRET_BACKEND_ARGUMENTS` environmental variables.
+For convenience, the Datadog Agent and its sibling Cluster Agent images already include a `readsecret_multiple_providers.sh` [helper function][2] that can be used to read from both files as well as Kubernetes Secrets. After creating the Secret, set `spec.global.secretBackend.command` to `"/readsecret_multiple_providers.sh"`.
 
-For instance, to use the secret backend for the Agent and Cluster Agent, create a secret called "test-secret":

-The Datadog Agent also includes a script that can be used to read secrets from files mounted from Kubernetes secrets, or directly from Kubernetes secrets. This script can be used by setting `DD_SECRET_BACKEND_COMMAND` to `/readsecret_multiple_providers.sh`. An example of how to configure the DatadogAgent spec is provided below. For more details, see [Secrets Management][2].

-```yaml

-spec:
-  global:
+    secretBackend:
+      command: "/readsecret_multiple_providers.sh"

 **Remarks:**
 
-* For the "Agent" and "Cluster Agent", others options exist to configure secret backend command:
+* The `"/readsecret_multiple_providers.sh"` helper enables the Agent to directly read Kubernetes Secrets across both its own and other namespaces. Ensure that the associated ServiceAccount has the necessary permissions by assigning the appropriate Roles and RoleBindings, which can be set manually or using the following options:
+    * `global.secretBackend.enableGlobalPermissions`: Determines if a ClusterRole is created that enables the Agents to read **all** Kubernetes Secrets.
+      ```yaml
+      apiVersion: datadoghq.com/v2alpha1
+      kind: DatadogAgent
+      metadata:
+        name: datadog
+      spec:
+        global:
+          secretBackend:
+            command: "/readsecret_multiple_providers.sh"
+            enableGlobalPermissions: true
+      # ...
+      ```
+    * `global.secretBackend.roles`: Replaces `enableGlobalPermissions`, detailing the list of namespace/secrets to which the Agents should have access.
+      ```yaml
+      apiVersion: datadoghq.com/v2alpha1
+      kind: DatadogAgent
+      metadata:
+        name: datadog
+      spec:
+        global:
+          secretBackend:
+            command: "/readsecret_multiple_providers.sh"
+            roles:
+            - namespace: rabbitmq-system
+              secrets:
+              - "rabbitmqcluster-sample-default-user"
+      # ...
+      ```
+      In this example, a Role is created granting read access to the Secret `rabbitmqcluster-sample-default-user` in the `rabbitmq-system` namespace.
+
+      **Note**: Each namespace in the `roles` list must also be configured in the `WATCH_NAMESPACE` or `DD_AGENT_WATCH_NAMESPACE` environment variable on the **Datadog Operator** deployment.
+
 
-  * **DD_SECRET_BACKEND_ARGUMENTS**: those arguments will be specified to the command when the agent executes the secret backend command.
-  * **DD_SECRET_BACKEND_OUTPUT_MAX_SIZE**: maximum output size of the secret backend command. The default value is 1048576 (1Mb).
-  * **DD_SECRET_BACKEND_TIMEOUT**: secret backend execution timeout in second. The default value is 5 seconds.
+* For the Agent and Cluster Agent, there are other configuration options for the secret backend command:
+  * `global.secretBackend.args`: these arguments are supplied to the command when the Agent executes the secret backend command.
+  * `global.secretBackend.timeout`: secret backend execution timeout in seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.
+* For versions prior to Operator 1.11, `spec.global.secretBackend` is unavailable. You should follow [these instructions][3] instead.
