Implements production-grade Kubernetes security using NetworkPolicy, RBAC, and Pod Security Standards.
This skill provides a comprehensive framework for securing Kubernetes clusters through defense-in-depth strategies. It enables developers and DevOps engineers to implement network segmentation, configure granular RBAC permissions, and enforce Pod Security Standards (PSS) at the namespace level. By leveraging tools like OPA Gatekeeper for admission control and Istio for service mesh security, it ensures clusters meet compliance standards like CIS Benchmarks and NIST frameworks while maintaining least-privilege access across all workloads.
