Liz Rice from Aqua Security talked about security in kubernetes. She compared Linux and Kubernetes in terms of security in a beautiful way. In Linux everything is a file. Files can be given read, write and execute permissions for the users and groups. Similarly in Kubernetes everything is a resource. One can define get, list, watch, create, delete, patch, update, use, bind, etc actions on resources for users and groups.Kubernetes also has the roles and role bindings. In Linux the ingredients are files, permissions, users and groups and in Kubernetes the ingredients are resources, actions, roles, users and groups.
