The presentation discusses the importance of pod security in Kubernetes clusters and how it can be used to improve the security of workloads. It also covers the migration from pod security policy to pod security.
- Pod security is a built-in admission controller in Kubernetes that evaluates pod specifications against a predefined set of pod security standards.
- It provides policy standards to restrict pod privileges, reducing the surface area of attacks and making the cluster more secure.
- Pod security is simple and easy to use, with pre-defined standards that align with Kubernetes security best practices.
- Pod security policy, which is being deprecated, can be migrated to pod security using a well-defined process.
- Pod security does not support mutation, which is the ability to change Kubernetes resources server-side.
