Lab Overview
This hands-on lab teaches you to implement Pod Security Standards for Kubernetes workloads for CKS exam preparation.
You'll learn to:
- Understand the three PSS levels (privileged, baseline, restricted)
- Enforce baseline security standards on namespaces
- Apply restricted security policies for sensitive workloads
- Troubleshoot and remediate PSS violations
Pod Security Standards provide a built-in mechanism to enforce security policies without requiring external admission controllers.
