To audit Kubernetes pod security, you analyze deployment manifests to detect privilege escalation risks and workload isolation vulnerabilities. This involves validating security contexts to identify dangerous configurations like privileged containers or excessive Linux capabilities.

Before deploying a microservice, check for Kubernetes pod security risks like privileged containers, host namespace sharing, and excessive Linux capabilities. You should also verify service account hygiene and supply chain immutability across container specifications.

You can enforce non-root execution and read-only filesystems in Kubernetes pods by evaluating your container specifications against strict security contexts. This ensures workloads adhere to the principle of least privilege and prevents common container escape vectors.

Yes, this pod security audit works with standard Kubernetes deployment manifests. You simply point the analysis at your YAML file, such as k8s/web-app-deployment.yaml, to automatically validate PodSecurityContext and SecurityContext settings.

The best way to harden Kubernetes workloads against container escape vectors is to enforce strict adherence to capability dropping and non-root execution. Validating security contexts and service account hygiene across container specifications ensures workload isolation.
