<\/p>\n

A Kubernetes instance occupies a wide footprint of multiple servers, creating an appealing target to an attacker, due to its access to a large pool of compute resources. A common attack against an exposed Kubernetes cluster is to take it over for the purposes of mining cryptocurrency. Thus it is important to keep a cluster secure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The importance of security is magnified for a cloud provider. A cloud provider runs a managed Kubernetes service, which might be running thousands of Kubernetes clusters. If the cloud provider\u2019s chosen distribution of Kubernetes contains a vulnerability, or if the Kubernetes instances are misconfigured, all of these clusters could be exposed to the same vulnerability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maya Kaczorowski works on the security of Google\u2019s managed Kubernetes service GKE. In today\u2019s show we discuss the attack surface of a managed Kubernetes service. Maya was previously on the show to talk about container security. This episode is a good companion to that one, as well as a previous show with Liz Rice about container security.<\/span><\/p>\n
