Why Security of Kubernetes Comes Down to Linux Security - Marina Moore, Edera

This talk, presented by Marina Moore from Edera, examines the critical relationship between Kubernetes security and Linux security. The session delves into container escape vulnerabilities originating from the Linux kernel, providing insight into how this foundational layer impacts container security. It covers the evolution of containers from their Linux origins to their current cloud native implementation, highlighting key features such as cgroups and namespaces. Through a live demo, viewers will learn about the interplay between devices, system calls, and processes within containers, equipping them with a better understanding of securing Kubernetes environments based on the Linux kernel.
