Implementing Kubernetes Pod Security Standards

Overview

Pod Security Standards (PSS) define three levels of security policies -- Privileged, Baseline, and Restricted -- enforced by the Pod Security Admission (PSA) controller built into Kubernetes 1.25+. PSA replaces the deprecated PodSecurityPolicy and provides namespace-level enforcement with three modes: enforce, audit, and warn.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing kubernetes pod security standards capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes cluster 1.25+ (PSA GA)
  • kubectl configured with cluster-admin access
  • Understanding of Linux capabilities and security contexts
