Strategic DevSecOps Foundations for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
DevSecOps for AKS — identity, workloads, network, secrets and continuous compliance.
Level: Intermediate / Advanced Last Updated: June 2026
For decades, application security operated on a waterfall model: development teams built the product, operations teams deployed it, and security teams conducted audits or penetration tests at the end of the cycle. This model, while effective in monolithic slow-release environments, is totally inadequate in the era of microservices, containers, and continuous deployment.
In a Kubernetes cluster, a single vulnerability in a container image can compromise the entire workload. A poorly protected secret in a YAML manifest can expose credentials to malicious actors. A missing Network Policy can allow a compromised Pod to spread laterally to all other namespaces. These risks are real, documented, and occur in production in companies of all sizes.
