To ensure ongoing security site reliability engineers must work hand-in-hand with the CISO’s (Chief Information Security Officer) office to implement Kubernetes security. Kubernetes out-of-the-box doesn’t exactly default to a secure enterprise grade cluster. Implement Pod Security Policy. Server Hardening.

Secure Shell, or SSH, is something of a “Swiss Army knife” when it comes to administering and managing Linux (and other UNIX-like) workloads. I plan to explore the use cases for an SSH bastion host in a future blog post. In this post, I’m going to explore a very specific use of SSH: the SSH bastion host. Additional Resources.

Flavio Leitner has a nice article comparing OVS internal ports with Linux veth devices. This topic is the subject of some debate given that some claim OVS internal ports perform much better than Linux veth devices. There’s a lot of talk about container security, but now there’s something you can actually do about it.
