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.
