Designing an intrusion detection system for a Kubernetes cluster

Recently, our lives have become increasingly dependent on digital platforms. This leads to a growing demand for automation and high-reliability systems. Consequently, the popularity of cloud-based architectures using containerization and container orchestration platforms increased. The result is that more tools are being used, therefore, the number of security concerns also grows. While Kubernetes offers robust security to prevent external attacks, it’s internal protection has limitations. For this reason, this research aims to propose design solutions for implementing an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for a Kubernetes cluster, alongside its tools and the implementation of one of the proposed designs.
