It's going to involve implementing security controls and monitoring to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security incidents. Now, system admins must have access to monitoring, logging, and network management tools to manage containers and clusters. So tools, ideas, platforms that help you out with this or anything around building, deploying, and running. For example, a good tool or method would be anything around GitOps. Application security, oddly enough, would be less around Kubernetes and more about the application itself. So scanning the code, checking the code, ensuring that the code in the image is secure. How does the security look around…
