Secure Your Kubernetes Deployments

A recent survey by Red Hat highlights that over half of Kubernetes environments are misconfigured, with 90% of respondents experiencing at least one security incident in the past year, leading to the emergence of Kubernetes-native malware. To address these challenges, the text outlines tools and best practices to validate and secure Kubernetes deployments, emphasizing the importance of continuous testing at every stage of deployment. It introduces tools like Kubeval and Kubeconform for validating manifests, and Kube-Score for assessing deployment security, advocating for the use of resource limits, network policies, and security contexts to enhance security and stability. By integrating these tools into a CI/CD pipeline, users can prevent unsafe deployments and ensure a robust Kubernetes environment.
