What measures are taken to protect data and systems when using containers and Kubernetes platform?

The following measures are applied to protect data and systems when using containers and Kubernetes:

• Container isolation: using namespaces and cgroups to restrict access and resources.
• Image minimization: creating lightweight and minimal container images to reduce the attack surface.
• Image scanning: checking container images for vulnerabilities before deployment.
• Access management: configuring RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) to restrict user and service permissions.
• Secrets and configurations: securely storing and managing secrets through Kubernetes Secrets.
• Network policies: restricting network traffic between pods using Network Policies.
• Monitoring and logging: tracking activity and anomalies for quick response.

These measures help ensure the security and integrity of data and applications in a container environment.
