Summary

In this chapter, you learned about some of the different topics around security that need to be considered when working with Helm. First, you learned how data provenance and the integrity of Helm releases and Helm charts can be proven. Next, you learned about Helm chart security and how a chart developer can employ best practices around security to write a stable and secure Helm chart. Finally, you learned how RBAC can be used to create an environment based on the concept of least privilege access and how chart repositories can be secured to provide HTTPS encryption and to require authentication. Now, with these concepts, you are better equipped to create a secure Helm architecture and working environment.
