One of the better features of the Aqua Security solution is the ability to inject secrets into the environment of a running container, so that they never get written to disk.

3. Security Best Practices for Kubernetes Deployment
Kubernetes provides many controls that can greatly improve your application security. Configuring those controls requires intimate knowledge with Kubernetes and the deployment’s security requirements. The container lifecycle: build, ship and run are also the best practices specifically tailored to Kubernetes deployments. If you want to implement the best practices we recommend and use Kubernetes flexible configuration capabilities, you can get them here.
