Chapter 12: Kubernetes Security and Compliance
In this chapter, you will learn about some of the key pieces of Kubernetes security. We'll discuss some recent Kubernetes security issues, and the finding of a recent audit that was performed on Kubernetes. Then, we'll look at implementing security at each level of our cluster, starting with the security of Kubernetes resources and their configurations, moving on to container security, and then finally, runtime security with intrusion detection. To start, we will discuss some key security concepts as they relate to Kubernetes.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding security on Kubernetes
- Reviewing CVEs and security audits for Kubernetes
- Implementing tools for cluster configuration and container security
- Handling intrusion detection, runtime security, and compliance on Kubernetes
