The original title is: "Cloud-Native Security Practices for Developers: Containers, Kubernetes, and CI/CD (2026)"

Short summary

Cloud-native security extends traditional application security to encompass containers, Kubernetes, service mesh, and the entire CI/CD supply chain. The attack surface spans eight distinct layers from source dependencies through runtime execution; each requires specific defenses like SCA, image scanning, registry RBAC, image signatures, and eBPF-based runtime detection. Developers must understand this complete layered defensive model to secure modern distributed applications.

• •Cloud-native security covers container images, Kubernetes orchestration, service mesh, and CI/CD supply chain—not just application code
• •Eight-layer attack surface (source code through runtime) requires different defenses at each layer: SCA, image scanning, RBAC, signatures, runtime detection
• •Complete understanding of layered security model is essential for developers deploying distributed applications securely
