Kubernetes: Complex and ever-evolving ecosystem
Even though Kubernetes adoption seems to be at an all-time high (48% according to the Container Journal, from 27% in 2018), security awareness for teams working on Kubernetes projects at their workplaces and running mission-critical workloads on Kubernetes is surprisingly low.

In addition, we work on security testing, assessment and consulting engagements where we run into and often successfully break into Kubernetes deployments (with permission, of course).
