Kubernetes Platform Security: A framework to think about it and some practical advice
Friday - Mar 6 1:15 PM CST - JEFFERSON
Containers enable rapid development and rapid software delivery - and with that increase in speed comes a need to shift how people think about and tackle security. Running those containers is part of this consideration - the platform and container orchestration has to figure out and handle all of the moving parts.
In this talk, Laine and Josh will give their recommendations for Kubernetes as a platform to run containers. They'll go through talking about security from the perspective of the pieces that make up the container - the ingredients, and how it runs in addition to where it runs. They'll discuss application and platform boundaries while explaining a simple model to use in order to think about and discuss this complex topic.
