In this article, we will talk about the security of applications throughout the Kubernetes development and deployment lifecycle. While threats occur in different stages of the Kubernetes application lifecycle, we can take action to countermeasure these threats. We know containers are everywhere, and Kubernetes can manage these numerous and closely connected microservices. It also adds complexity to add security and ensure all microservices have the exact minimum permissions required.

Security is something we can’t toss in at the end of DevOps. We have to ensure security at the building, deploy, and runtime phases to provide a protected environment. In other words, DevOps must be evolved within DevSecOps. As DevSecOps, we have to integrate security with each step of DevOps. Firstly, we explore how we can incorporate the security layer into our DevOps processes.
