𝐏𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 (𝐏𝐒𝐒): 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰

📌 To enhance Kubernetes security, you must regulate and limit the number of pods that may be generated and deployed in your environment. Kubernetes has given a beta feature called Pod Security Policy (PSP) for this purpose, which will shortly be deprecated and replaced with a standard called Pod Security Standards (PSS).

📌 Because PSPs are being phased out and are no longer being actively developed, cluster administrators and operators must replace those security measures. This need can be met by two options:

➡Policy-as-code (PAC) solutions from the Kubernetes ecosystem.
➡Kubernetes Pod Security Standards (PSS) & Pod Security Admission (PSA).

📌 The Kubernetes Auth Special Interest Group produced the Pod Security Standards (PSS) and Pod Security Admission (PSA) in response to the PSP deprecation and the continued requirement to govern pod security out-of-the-box, using a built-in Kubernetes solution (PSA). The PSA effort includes a webhook project for admission controllers that implements the controls described in the PSS.
