This is the seventh part of a series of posts looking at the PCI recommendations for container security as they apply to Kubernetes environments. This time we’re looking at what the document calls Container Orchestration Tool Auditing, which for this blog will focus on the Kubernetes auditing feature.

As a bit of a change from all the PCI/Kubernetes posts, I thought I’d write up my initial impressions of the new project volterra Windows ARM dev kit, that I got this week. I’ve been interested in getting an ARM based desktop machine for a while now, but never seen anything that quite hit the mark in terms of performance/pricing.
This is the fifth part of a series of posts looking at the PCI recommendations for container security as they apply to Kubernetes environments. This time we’re looking at PKI. An index of the posts in this series can be found here.

This is the 3rd part of an in-depth look at how companies running Kubernetes can approach implementing the recommendation of PCI’s guidance for container orchestration. The previous installment looked at authorization, and there’s also an overview post and some notes on the complexity of assessing security in Kubernetes which might be worth reading before getting in to this part.

This is the 2nd part of an in-depth look at how companies running Kubernetes can approach implementing the recommendation of PCI’s guidance for container orchestration. The previous installment looked at authentication, and there’s also an overview post and some notes on the complexity of assessing security in Kubernetes which might be worth reading before getting in to this part.

Having taken a high-level look at how the PCI guidance for container orchestration could apply to Kubernetes environments, and some of the challenges in auditing/assessing Kubernetes environments, I thought it would make sense to start getting into the details of the recommendations and see how in-scope organizations could look at meeting their requirements when using Kubernetes. Whilst this post is structured round the PCI recommendations, it would hopefully be helpful in general for Kubernetes security. An index of the posts in this series can be found here.
After talking about the release of PCIs recommendations for containers and container orchestration environments, and how it could be applied to Kubernetes clusters in my last blog I thought that it might be a good idea to discuss some of the general challenges that assessors and auditors might have when looking at Kubernetes environments, as there’s quite a few variables that you need to account for. This is part of a longer series on the PCI guidance for containers, and an index of the posts in this series can be found here.
Yesterday, the PCI Council issued a new information supplement that should be of specific interest to anyone using container technologies like Docker and podman and Container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes and OpenShift to process cardholder transactions.
