Chapter 6

  1. Token-based authentication enables static tokens to be used to identify the origin of requests in the cluster. Static tokens cannot be updated without restarting the API server and so should not be used.
  2. The NodeRestriction admission controller ensures that a kubelet can only modify the node and Pod objects for the node that it is running on.
  3. Pass --encryption-provider-config to the API server to ensure data is encrypted at rest in etcd.
  4. Security vulnerabilities in dnsmasq, performance issues in SkyDNS, and a single container instead of three for kube-dns to provide the same functionality.
  5. You can use kube-bench on an EKS cluster as follows:
    $ git clone : https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench
$ kubectl apply -f job-eks.yaml
