Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

“We’re at the start of a nonlinear move in innovation
thanks to the hyper connecting of the world —
through social media, mobile/wireless devices and

innovation devices into the hands of so many more
people, enabling them to collaborate on invention in

7. The Labor Market Is Changing
Global labor markets are adjusting to reflect the opportunities
afforded through online employment.
• Online employment is location independent, enabling more efficient
matching between opportunities and talent, including a growing reliance
on talent sourced from emerging economies
• Companies favoring flexible cost structure. Companies are moving
away from traditional, high fixed labor cost structures in favor of a
lighter and more flexible cost framework afforded by contingent
and outsource employment.
• Global employees are mobile and flexible. A growing number of
global employees are reflective of emerging trends and tend to be
mobile , enjoy flexible work routines as well as more frequent job
changes.
• Online job markets facilitate part-time work. On demand work
makes it easier for part-time and side employment opportunities

8. 2011 CIO IT Insight Survey
Companies increasingly emphasize flexible labor practices
• 45% expect to increase their outsourcing
spend in 2012
• 76% use “flex work” options- such as
contractual employees, temps and
offshore talent- to account for up to one
quarter of their entire staff
• 84% are looking to increase or maintain
their current user of “flex” labor
• Nearly one third will spend up to 25%
of their entire IT budget this year on
outsourced activity

Freelance labor will exceed $1 billion in 2012 million jobs, or about 11

worldwide, could in theory

and creative services to build successful work relationships across the
globe. This is possible due to a “pay by the hour” service model which
guarantees payment to contractors and allows employers to verify work
as it happens. Employers can hire, manage and pay contractors around
the world similarly to those working in the same office.

15. Global Sourcing Disrupts Industries
Global sourcing for talent is becoming more mainstream and is broadening from traditional
technology jobs to include more diverse industries, such as engineering.
“Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO)
is a rapidly evolving economy.
Global spending for engineering
services is $750 billion per year, an
amount nearly equal to India’s
entire gross domestic product. By
2020, the worldwide spend on
engineering services is expected to
increase to more than $1 trillion.
Of the $750 Billion spent today,
only $10-15 billion is currently
being offshored-a tiny fraction of
the total. “

18. The Rise of Global Entrepreneurs
The freelance / contingent
talent market represents a
growing pool of workers who
exhibit entrepreneurial-like
characteristics and embody
its culture. Flexible time
schedules permit the
pursuit of more jobs or
alternative opportunities.
Collectively, freelancers seek
opportunity and novelty and
have marketable skills that
lend themselves to the new,
digital economy. In short,
they are new digital
entrepreneurs in an
emerging global economy.
