Kubernetes documentation clearly defines what use cases you can achieve using Kubernetes network policies and what you can’t. You are probably familiar with the scope of network policies and how to use them to secure your workload from undesirable connections. Although it is possible to cover the basics with Kubernetes native network policies, there is a list of use cases that you cannot implement by just using these policies.
The concern about securing the clusters has grown exponentially and one of the ways to secure it is by isolating the cluster from the Internet to lower the risk of eventual attack. Enterprises that deal with confidential customer data and work with regulatory agencies, such as financial and insurance institutions, require air gap environments for their clusters to create highly secure environments.
During May, a new vulnerability CVE-2023-32784 was discovered that affected KeePass. KeePass is a popular open source password manager which runs on Windows, Mac, or Linux. The vulnerability allows the extraction of the master key in cleartext from the memory of the process that was running. The master key will allow an attacker to access all the stored credentials. We strongly recommend updating to KeePass 2.54 to fix the vulnerability.

I recently had a chance to speak with Chris Mellor at Block and Files about the emergence of Velero as the standard for Kubernetes data protection. I shared some ballpark estimates of market share across open source and commercial vendors to make my case. These numbers were obtained through diligent market research. They are estimates, but they are not imaginary.
