Kubernetes Security: Solving Common Challenges

Kubernetes, the open-source container orchestration platform, optimizes DevOps workflows by automating the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. However, the dynamic nature of Kubernetes can make it difficult to secure.

HashiCorp’s zero trust security approach addresses Kubernetes security challenges by introducing automated workflows that:

- Dynamically generate, store, encrypt, and rotate secrets
- Securely connect services between Kubernetes clusters and non-Kubernetes clusters
- Ensure user access is consistent and secure
