Security is top priority in Kubernetes environments, but it is hard. Whether in the cloud or on-premise, Kubernetes security involves proactive management and automation of a lot of different processes and components. Because of this complexity, we've compiled a checklist of Kubernetes security best practices to help simplify and improve your security posture. We recommend taking small steps. Each step is like an onion's layer. Each layer provides its own isolation mechanisms and builds on top of the next ones. With these layers in mind, we break our Kubernetes security best practices into 3 main architecture layers: 1. system, 2. orchestrator and 3. application. Let's get started.

The Kubernetes Architecture is based on a client-server RESTful API. Kubernetes' main components are 'Nodes' that manage and run application workloads. The Control Planes manage workloads lifecycle, while the Worker Nodes run and execute applications. Your view about the Kubernetes Architecture will change depending on the platform in which it runs. For example, a cloud-hosted Kubernetes cluster abstract away the control plane components. In contrast, on-premise Kubernetes Architectures must include the underlying platform and systems into the picture.
