Kubernetes solves orchestration of containers, but it does not solve the 10 year problem of ensuring that the software running in production always contains CVEs to the root filesystem, to OS packages, to language packages, and the application itself.
Replace Dockerfiles with Cloud Native Buildpacks to convert your application software into OCI/docker images, and use tools like pack and kpack to continuously upgrade images with latest dependencies, and to rebase the base OS layer of images to latest version.
