With the popularity of Kubernetes, there is always potential for security vulnerabilities to be uncovered. And well, this one is a doozy. What is it? The Kubernetes team just released a fix for CVE-2018-1002105 which allowed for anyone with API access (privileged or not) to use a specifically crafted request to obtain privilege escalation and take control of your Kubernetes cluster. Ouch.

While our minds have already shifted ahead to Dockercon Europe, there was one announcement in particular from Dockercon2018 that everyone should take notice. Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) will soon allow organizations to federate applications across not only other deployments of itself, but accompanying Kubernetes cloud-hosted solutions like AWS Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
