Does this skill support the latest Kubernetes security features?

Yes, it implements modern Pod Security Standards (PSS) which have replaced the deprecated PodSecurityPolicies in current Kubernetes versions.

How does it help with security compliance?

The skill follows best practices aligned with the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark and NIST frameworks, focusing on defense-in-depth and least-privilege principles.

Can I use this for multi-tenant cluster isolation?

Absolutely. The skill provides specific patterns for network isolation and namespace-scoped RBAC to ensure secure multi-tenancy.

Does it provide support for Service Mesh security?

Yes, it includes templates for Istio mTLS (PeerAuthentication) and AuthorizationPolicies to secure traffic within a mesh.

Security & Testing

Implements defense-in-depth security for Kubernetes clusters through production-ready network isolation, RBAC, and pod security standards.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for securing Kubernetes environments by automating the creation and enforcement of critical security layers. It enables developers and DevOps engineers to implement sophisticated NetworkPolicies for traffic isolation, configure granular RBAC roles for least-privilege access, and apply Pod Security Standards at the namespace level. Beyond standard Kubernetes resources, it supports advanced policy enforcement via OPA Gatekeeper and Istio service mesh security, making it an essential tool for hardening multi-tenant clusters and meeting enterprise compliance requirements like CIS Benchmarks.

Key Features

OPA Gatekeeper ConstraintTemplate implementation for admission control
Granular RBAC Role and ClusterRole configuration patterns
NetworkPolicy generation for ingress/egress traffic isolation
Istio PeerAuthentication and AuthorizationPolicy for service mesh security
Namespace-level Pod Security Standard enforcement (Baseline/Restricted)
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Configuring least-privilege access for developers and service accounts
Implementing network segmentation between frontend and backend microservices
Hardening production Kubernetes clusters for compliance and audits
