● No security on K8s dashboard ● IT infrastructure credentials exposed ● Enabled access to a large part of Weight Watchers' network ● K8s dashboard exposed ● AWS environment with telemetry data compromised ● Tesla’s infrastructure was used for crypto mining THE CONTAINERS NEWS YOU DON’T WANT ● 17 tainted crypto-mining containers on dockerhub ● Remained for ~1 year
 with 5 million pulls and ● Harvested ~90k in crypto currency.

NETWORKING

Kubernetes 
 Logical Network Model NETWORK SECURITY • Kubernetes uses a flat SDN model • All pods get IP from same CIDR • And live on same logical network • Assumes all nodes communicate
 Traditional 
 Physical Network Model • Each layer represents a Zone with
 increased trust - DMZ > App > DB,
 interzone flow generally one direction • Intrazone traffic generally unrestricted

NETWORK SECURITY MODELS Co-Existence Approaches One Cluster Multiple Zones Kubernete Cluster Physical Compute 
 isolation based on 
 Network Zones Kubernete Cluster One Cluster Per Zone Kubernete Cluster B Kubernete Cluster A Kubernetes Cluster B C D https://blog.openshift.com/openshift-and-network-security-zones-coexistence-approaches/

Network Namespace 
 provides resource isolation NETWORK ISOLATION Multi-Environment Multi-Tenant

NETWORK POLICY example: 
 all pods in namespace ‘project-a’ allow traffic 
 from any other pods in the same namespace.” apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: NetworkPolicy metadata: name: default-deny spec: podSelector: {} policyTypes: - Ingress - Egress Tip: default allows all ingress/egress from pods within namspace, create a deny all ingress/egress policy
