Introduction Customers are moving to cloud thanks to its scalability and cost-effectiveness. Some are adopting Kubernetes to modernize their workloads for a more agile way to iterate and deliver time-to-market services or product features to their customers. As the number of clusters to be managed increases, customers struggle with different deployment mechanisms and application programming […]

Introduction Securely adopting Kubernetes includes preventing unwanted changes to clusters. Unwanted changes can disrupt cluster operations and even compromise cluster integrity. Introducing pods that lack correct security configurations is an example of an unwanted cluster change. To control pod security, Kubernetes provided Pod Security Policy (PSP) resources. PSPs specify a set of security settings that […]
