Reducing Security Vulnerabilities in Kubernetes

Containerized environments offer advantages but pose security challenges. To mitigate risks, developers should follow container security best practices. Namespaces provide isolation within a Kubernetes cluster, but additional configuration is needed for effective isolation. Running containers as non-root users can prevent privilege escalation and limit access to sensitive information. Docker's rootless mode helps mitigate vulnerabilities in daemons and container times. Network segments should be built to improve security. Effective dependency management involves knowing dependencies, updating them regularly, and using trusted sources. Continuously implementing and maintaining security controls can protect containers throughout their life cycle.
