Producing screenshots, videos, or detailed descriptions
Security best practices (OWASP, CIS, SANS, etc.)
Proposed remediation plans for issues

Reviewing: Represent State/Planning phase

Optional Wash-up call
Provide results/reports to the client

Kubernetes pentesting tools

FAQ for those who have some issues to clarify

If you have any other issues to solve, contact us directly.

Is Kubernetes a testing tool?

Though Kubernetes is mainly used as a container orchestration tool, it is a multi-tool that can be used in different ways for testing. You can set up different environments and pack your app in various container combinations to test the speed and other indicators of your program efficiency. If you’re asking in the context of the pentesting Kubernetes can offer, then you should probably get a direct consultation from our specialists.

How is Kubernetes deployment tested?

There are a lot of tools created for testing of k8s deployment. For example, you can conduct the test of your environment running kubectl to check the rollout statuses or to run the CI process. Also, you can use other specialized tools for deployment check. The penetration testing Kubernetes allows users to check the security issues of their environment and the k8s project.

Where can I test Kubernetes?

You can test your k8s environment both locally and cloud-based. If you’re asking about companies that can help you with Kubernetes penetration test, then you can contact us for clarification of details. We’ll analyze your project and send you an offer with an action plan for testing your project.

How do you run tests in Kubernetes?

Generally, we run tests in any k8s projects using a dedicated Test Environment. With this approach, we cannot cause any damage to your existing infrastructure and test the fixes of the revealed problems right away before taking it to the production k8s environment.

How do you test Kubernetes locally?

Typically, we copy the production environment to the local storage and run all the tests we need. After completing the tests, we apply the changes in the test environment, and if everything goes smoothly, we take everything back to the production k8s cluster.
