A typical web application responds to requests from bots, health checks, and various attempts to circumvent security and gain unauthorized access. Examples include: - SQL injections. - XSS attacks. So, how can you filter out those malicious attempts in Kubernetes? You have at least 2 solid options: 1. You can filter the traffic before it reaches the container. 2. You can filter the traffic at the Ingress. Chris Nesbitt-Smith will dive into the details this coming Monday at 8am PT / 4pm CET in a live webinar. After the session, you will have access to the code, a step-by-step tutorial and interactive labs to test the configuration (provided by NGINX).
