This guide provides an overview of cluster security practices and best practices to ensure the security of your Kubernetes cluster.
Overview
Cluster security is a critical aspect of Kubernetes deployment. It involves implementing various security measures to protect your cluster from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security threats.
Key Security Practices
1. Network Policies
Network policies help control the communication between pods in your cluster. They define which pods are allowed to communicate with each other and which are not.

2. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
RBAC is a method of regulating access to resources within your cluster. It allows you to define roles and assign them to users or service accounts.
