Understanding the Security Implications of Kubernetes Networking
Francesco Minna, Agathe Blaise, Filippo Rebecchi, B. Chandrasekaran, Fabio Massacci
Abstract
Container-orchestration software such as Kubernetes make it easy to deploy and manage modern cloud applications based on microservices. Yet, its network abstractions pave the way for "unexpected attacks" if we approach cloud network security with the same mental model of traditional network security.
