Securing Applications in Kubernetes Engine
This tutorial provides guidance on implementing security features within Kubernetes Engine to control application privileges based on their specific requirements. The resource covers the principle of least privilege, ensuring applications receive only the minimum permissions necessary for proper operation. The tutorial addresses two primary security domains: Host Access Security: - Configures permissions for applications on their host nodes outside container boundaries - Utilizes Pod and Container security contexts for access control - Implements AppArmor profiles for additional security hardening Network Access Security: - Defines network-level permissions for application communication - Controls which resources and workloads applications can access via network connections - Establishes network segmentation and access policies The tutorial demonstrates practical implementation of Kubernetes Engine's built-in security mechanisms to create layered security controls. It focuses on configuring security contexts, applying security policies, and establishing network access controls within containerized environments.
