Episode 44 — Container Platforms: Orchestrator and Container Hardening
Containers have transformed application delivery by making software portable and efficient, but they introduce unique risks. This episode explores container platforms in depth, focusing on orchestrators like Kubernetes and the hardening measures needed to secure both containers and the platforms that run them. Misconfigurations, excessive privileges, and unpatched images are common threats that must be addressed systematically.
We also examine the layered nature of container security, from registries to runtime, and the role of policies in enforcing least privilege. On the exam, container-related questions may challenge you to spot weak points in orchestration or image integrity. Understanding how to secure containers across their lifecycle prepares you not only for certification but for contributing to DevSecOps efforts in modern organizations.
