Individual skill

gke-workload-security

Audits, configures, and hardens workload-level security controls for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) applications and namespaces. Covers running security audits (`audit_cluster.sh`), enforcing Network Policies (default-deny and Dataplane V2 logging), isolating high-risk pods inside GKE Sandbox (`gVisor`), enforcing Pod Security Standards (`restricted` labeling) and pod securityContext, and mounting Secret Manager secrets via CSI (`SecretProviderClass`). Use when auditing workload security posture, isolating namespaces, applying pod security standards, or configuring network policies and secret volume mounts. Don't use for Workload Identity (use gke-workload-identity), cluster-wide control plane security, RBAC hardening, Binary Authorization, Shielded Nodes, or enabling platform-level GKE add-ons (use gke-platform-security instead).

# GKE Workload Security

> **Routing Note:** For Workload Identity KSA/GSA bindings, open `gke-workload-identity/SKILL.md`. For cluster-level security flags (`--database-encryption-key`, `--security-posture`, RBAC, Shielded Nodes, Binary Authorization), open `gke-platform-security/SKILL.md`.

This skill provides workflows and best practices for securing GKE workloads. It
covers security auditing, Identity and Access Management (Workload Identity),
Network Security (Network Policies), and Node Security.
