Kubernetes Security

Container registries

In Kubernetes, container registries play a crucial role in managing and distributing container images, which is vital for maintaining Software Supply Chain Security.

By using secure registries, organizations can reduce the risk of deploying compromised images and maintain a reliable image source. 

Best Practices: 

1. Private Registries: Use private, secure registries to control access and ensure images are sourced from a trusted location. 

2. Access Controls: Implement role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication for added security. 

3. Automated Scans: Regularly scan registry images for vulnerabilities to catch issues before deployment. 

These practices reinforce supply chain security by maintaining the integrity and security of container images throughout their lifecycle.
