Kubernetes Security Best Practices: Safeguarding Your Cluster and Workloads
Cluster Security: Update Kubernetes and dependencies regularly, secure the API server, use namespaces for isolation, and implement Pod Security Standards.
Network Security: Implement network policies, encrypt data in transit, and use secure container registries.
Workload Security: Use minimal container images, run containers as non-root users, limit container capabilities, and use read-only file systems.
Authentication and Authorization: Enable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), use service accounts for applications, and employ strong authentication methods.
Monitoring and Auditing: Enable audit logging, monitor cluster activity, scan containers for vulnerabilities, and use security dashboards.
