HashiCorp has developed a native integration with Kubernetes, enabling seamless application integration and fine-grained authorization through its open-source project, HashiCorp Boundary. The current access model for applications running on Kubernetes is coarse-grained, allowing direct shell access to containers, which poses security risks. HashiCorp Boundary provides an alternative by restricting network access to a single point, the Boundary pod, while still enabling role-based access control (RBAC) and seamless integration with existing solutions. This tool also allows for gate API calls to Kubernetes clusters using kubectl under the hood, making it a powerful solution for secure software-defined perimeter and multi-faceted container security. The future roadmap includes dynamic host catalogs and session recording for the Kubernetes ecosystem, further enhancing its capabilities.
