Individual skill
securing-kubernetes-on-cloud
Hardens managed Kubernetes clusters on EKS, AKS, and GKE by implementing Pod Security Standards, network policies, workload identity (IRSA for EKS, Workload Identity for GKE, Managed Identities for AKS), RBAC scoping, image admission controls, and runtime security monitoring. Use when deploying a new managed Kubernetes cluster with security requirements or hardening an existing EKS, AKS, or GKE cluster after an audit or pentest finding.

# Securing Kubernetes on Cloud
## When to Use
- When deploying new managed Kubernetes clusters in production with security requirements
- When hardening existing EKS, AKS, or GKE clusters after a security audit or pentest finding
- When implementing workload identity to eliminate static cloud credentials in pods
- When enforcing pod security policies across namespaces to prevent container escapes
- When integrating runtime security monitoring for detecting container-level threats
**Do not use** for non-Kubernetes container deployments like ECS Fargate or Azure Container Instances, for application-level security within containers (see securing-serverless-functions), or for CI/CD pipeline security (see implementing-cloud-devsecops).
