Azure Network Security with Kubernetes

Kubernetes is easy to launch these days, but production security is where the shortcuts surface. Real traffic, layered Azure networking, and operational guardrails quickly expose gaps that the default setup cannot cover. This session brings practical lessons from running AKS in live environments so you can harden security without slowing delivery.
We will trace how traffic moves through ingress, VNets, firewalls, and internal services, then highlight common missteps and how teams corrected them in production. The focus is on pragmatic, repeatable choices that create a sensible security baseline for Azure Kubernetes Service.

Key Takeaways:

• How inbound, east-west, and outbound traffic flows should be secured on AKS.
• Where teams most often misconfigure network policies and access paths.
• Practical guardrails for ingress, DNS, and private endpoint design.
• A baseline checklist for production-ready Kubernetes network security.
