Core Idea

Kubernetes security stacks six primitives in layers: secure the hosts, secure the cluster, then require authentication, authorization, TLS certificates, and network policies.

• The six security primitives: secure hosts, secure Kubernetes, authentication, authorization, TLS certificates, network policies.
• Each one links out to its own deep dive: API security and RBAC, TLS and TLS certificates in K8s, image security and security context, network policies, service accounts.

Security Primitives

1. Secure Hosts
