+## Workflows
+
+Refer to the following workflow examples for Kubernetes auth method usage:
+
+### Working with templated policies
+
+Set `use_annotations_as_alias_metadata=true` in your Kubernetes auth
+configuration to use Kubernetes Service Account annotations for
+[Vault alias](/vault/docs/concepts/identity#entities-and-aliases) metadata.
+
+When `use_annotations_as_alias_metadata` is true, you can use the
+`identity.entity.aliases.<mount accessor>.metadata.<metadata key>` template
+parameter when you create [templated policies](/vault/docs/concepts/policies#templated-policies).
+
+To use annotations as alias metadata, you must give Vault permission to read
+service accounts from the Kubernetes API.
+
+#### Scenario Introduction
+
+Assume you have the following policy requirement:
+
+Applications can perform read operations on their allocated key/value secret path:
+`(env-kv/data/<env>)`
+
+#### Annotate Kubernetes Service Accounts with their dedicated secret paths
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ServiceAccount
+metadata:
+  name: app
+  namespace: demo
+  annotations:
+    vault.hashicorp.com/alias-metadata-env: demo/app
+```
+
+When the application, `app`, logs in with JWT for the service account, Vault
+renders the alias metadata as `env : demo/app`.
+
+#### Create a templated ACL policy
+
+The `env-tmpl` policy lets applications read their secrets defined in KV v2
+secret engine. Use the mount accessor value
+(`auth_kubernetes_bcecb1e1`) from the [`sys/auth`](/vault/api-docs/system/auth) endpoint or the [`vault auth list`](/vault/docs/commands/auth/list) command.
+
+```shell-session
+$ tee env-tmpl.hcl <<EOF
+path "env-kv/data/{{identity.entity.aliases.auth_kubernetes_bcecb1e1.metadata.env}}" {
+  capabilities = [ "read" ]
+}
+EOF
+$ vault policy write env-tmpl env-tmpl.hcl
+```
+
+#### Create a Kubernetes role with the templated ACL policy
+
+The Kubernetes role lets users login as the `env-reader` role to read from the
+secret path described in the `env-tmpl` policy.
+
+```shell-session
+$ vault write auth/kubernetes/role/env-reader \
+    bound_service_account_names=app \
+    bound_service_account_namespaces=demo \
+    policies=default,env-tmpl \
+    ttl=1h
+```
