The text discusses Falco Runtime Security and Cloud Native Distributed SQL on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). It highlights how Falco, an incubating CNCF project, provides cloud native runtime security for applications running in Kubernetes environments. The text also introduces YugabyteDB, a cloud native, distributed SQL database designed to run in Kubernetes environments, which can interoperate with Falco and other CNCF projects out of the box. The authors aim to show how to get up and running with YugabyteDB and Falco on GCP, implement basic security policies, and demonstrate the integration by creating a test user and logging into the database, resulting in an audit log entry from Falco.
