Validaciones de Seguridad

Security Context

Copy# 🔴 Inseguro - root y privilegiado
spec:
  containers:
    - name: app
      securityContext:
        runAsRoot: true
        privileged: true

# ✅ Seguro
spec:
  securityContext:
    runAsNonRoot: true
    runAsUser: 1000
    runAsGroup: 1000
    fsGroup: 1000
  containers:
    - name: app
      securityContext:
        allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
        readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
        capabilities:
          drop:
            - ALL

Resource Limits

Copy# 🔴 Sin límites - puede consumir todo el nodo
spec:
  containers:
    - name: app
      image: myapp:latest

# ✅ Con límites
spec:
  containers:
    - name: app
      image: myapp:v1.2.3  # Tag específico, no latest
      resources:
        requests:
          memory: "128Mi"
          cpu: "100m"
        limits:
          memory: "256Mi"
          cpu: "200m"

Network Policies

Copy# ✅ Deny all by default, allow specific
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: default-deny-all
  namespace: production
spec:
  podSelector: {}
  policyTypes:
    - Ingress
    - Egress

---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: allow-frontend-to-backend
spec:
  podSelector:
    matchLabels:
      app: backend
  policyTypes:
    - Ingress
  ingress:

        - podSelector:
            matchLabels:
              app: frontend
      ports:
        - protocol: TCP
          port: 8080

Secrets Management

Copy# 🔴 Secret en plain text en ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: app-config
data:
  DATABASE_PASSWORD: "mypassword123"  # NUNCA!

# ✅ Usar Secrets (encriptados at-rest)
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: app-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  DATABASE_PASSWORD: "mypassword123"  # Base64 encoded at rest

# ✅ Mejor: External Secrets Operator + Vault
apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
kind: ExternalSecret
metadata:
  name: app-secrets
spec:
  secretStoreRef:
    name: vault-backend
    kind: ClusterSecretStore
  target:
    name: app-secrets

    - secretKey: DATABASE_PASSWORD
      remoteRef:
        key: secret/data/app
        property: database_password

Reliability

Probes

Copy# ✅ Liveness + Readiness + Startup probes

  containers:
    - name: app
      livenessProbe:
        httpGet:
          path: /healthz
          port: 8080

        failureThreshold: 30
        periodSeconds: 10

Pod Disruption Budget

kind: PodDisruptionBudget
metadata:
  name: app-pdb

  minAvailable: 2  # o maxUnavailable: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: myapp
