Securing Pods and Containers
Securing Pods and containers is essential to keeping your Kubernetes environment in a healthy state, since these directly interact with workloads and sensitive data. In the next sections, we are going to talk about how the securityContext settings and NetworkPolicies can enforce strict access controls and isolation in place to strengthen the security of Pods and containers in your cluster.
Securing Pods and Containers in Kubernetes Using Security Context
In Kubernetes, a securityContext defines a set of security settings that determine how a Pod or container operates within the cluster. This allows you to enforce security best practices and minimize the attack surface by restricting privileges and controlling access.
The primary purpose of securityContext is to enhance the security of your Kubernetes clusters by defining how a pod or container should run within the cluster. By specifying security settings, you can ensure that your applications...
