GitOps Security with k8s-security-configwatch

GitOps, a methodology for managing Kubernetes clusters and application delivery through infrastructure as code principles, utilizes Git as a central repository for storing the infrastructure and application declarations, ensuring an audit trail for changes. K8s-security-configwatch, an open-source tool from Sysdig, enhances GitOps by automatically reviewing Kubernetes configuration changes for security vulnerabilities, integrating with GitHub Actions to trigger workflows that alert security engineers if potential risks are detected. This tool tracks various security attributes such as SecurityContext and PodSecurityContext objects, providing feedback on changes that could either open security gaps or cause application failures. By automating configuration audits, k8s-security-configwatch helps prevent security breaches and maintains the integrity of Kubernetes deployments.
