Kubernetes isn’t safe by default. It needs further tweaking to ensure not only cluster safety at a high level, but pod and container safety as well.

Learn a few initial strategies that teams can make from the outset of the cluster deployment that will greatly increase their security posture.

🔐 As the systems we use to deliver software to the cloud get more complex and reliant on third-party components, they also leave more opportunities for attacks. Just last year, software supply chain attacks jumped 51%, which is proof that bad (and creative) actors are capitalizing on these weaknesses.

As powerful as our CI/CD pipelines are for ensuring the quality and security of our applications before they’re deployed, they require care in how they themselves are configured and what user behavior is and isn’t allowed.

👉🏻 Although in the broader and longer term economic perspective, this assumption is warranted. But in the immediate firm-level analysis in the here-and-now, the opposite is often the case: wider, top management support is crucial for agile team longevity.

Agile Teams And Top-Down Bureaucracy Don’t Mix
