This guide provides a comprehensive framework for minimizing cloud expenditure on Databricks. It covers identifying cost drivers via system billing tables, implementing cluster policies, utilizing spot instances for batch processing, right-sizing SQL warehouses, and automating the shutdown of idle development clusters. Use it when managing cloud spending or optimizing data platform usage.

A comprehensive guide for establishing robust, enterprise-grade access control within Databricks. Covers implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) via SCIM, leveraging Unity Catalog for fine-grained Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), defining cluster policies, and enforcing data governance measures like Row-Level Security (RLS) and column masking. Essential for large-scale, secure data platforms.

An expert guide for designing, implementing, and optimizing large-scale, secure, and highly available cloud-native infrastructure using Kubernetes. Covers advanced topics including GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Flux), service mesh architecture (Istio), multi-cluster management, Policy as Code (OPA), and infrastructure automation with Terraform. Ideal for platform engineers building enterprise-grade container orchestration solutions.

This utility provides comprehensive security auditing for Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) configurations. It identifies overly permissive roles, dangerous wildcard permissions (*), critical ClusterRoleBindings, and potential privilege escalation paths. By integrating tools like rbac-tool, KubiScan, and Kubeaudit, it helps users enforce the principle of least privilege, crucial for compliance and security assessments on EKS, GKE, and AKS clusters.

This skill guides the implementation of fine-grained network security policies in Kubernetes using Calico CNI. It covers establishing a default-deny baseline, understanding policy ordering, and applying advanced rules like service-account-based selectors. Use it for hardening cluster security, enforcing zero-trust models, and managing network segmentation within containerized environments.

This skill details how to configure and manage the Kubernetes Pod Security Admission (PSA) controller. PSA enforces Pod Security Standards (Privileged, Baseline, Restricted) at the namespace level, replacing the deprecated PodSecurityPolicy. It guides users on setting cluster-wide defaults, applying standards via labels, and utilizing 'enforce', 'audit', or 'warn' modes for robust cluster security and debugging.

This guide details implementing Policy-as-Code using Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Gatekeeper. It covers writing complex Rego policies, deploying OPA Gatekeeper as a Kubernetes admission controller, and integrating policy testing into CI/CD pipelines to enforce security standards across clusters. Ideal for DevSecOps practitioners requiring robust governance.

This guide outlines best practices for hardening Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). It focuses on implementing least-privilege principles by auditing and removing excessive cluster-admin bindings, scoping roles to namespaces, separating service accounts, and integrating external OIDC providers. Use this when improving cluster security posture, meeting compliance standards, or mitigating privilege escalation risks.

Tetragon utilizes eBPF technology to provide deep, low-overhead security observability and runtime enforcement directly within Kubernetes clusters. It monitors system calls, process execution, file access, and network connections at the kernel level, allowing users to detect or block dangerous activities like container escapes or privilege escalation, ensuring robust cluster security and compliance.

A specialized tool for performing comprehensive CIS Kubernetes Benchmark audits. It verifies the security configurations of control planes, worker nodes, and etcd against industry best practices. The output is designed to generate actionable compliance evidence for audits like SOC 2 or PCI DSS, helping users identify vulnerabilities, determine non-applicability on managed clusters (EKS, GKE, AKS), and plan remediation strategies.

Provides a comprehensive guide to auditing the security posture of the etcd cluster, the critical key-value store backing Kubernetes. This assessment covers encryption at rest for secrets, TLS transport security, access control policies, secure backup procedures, and network isolation best practices. Essential for hardening control planes and ensuring regulatory compliance.

A comprehensive guide to systematically evaluating Kubernetes cluster security by simulating advanced attacker techniques. It covers attacking the API server, kubelet, etcd, RBAC, and secrets using specialized tools like kube-hunter, Kubescape, and peirates. Essential for authorized security assessments and hands-on validation of cluster defenses.
