Installing Falco
The Falco Project
The Falco application:
- Parses Linux kernel system calls at runtime.
- Analyzes signals using a configurable set of rules.
- Sends an alert if the rules are violated.
Warning
To use Falco, install Kyverno or another product that supports writing results to wg-policy-prototypes
Getting started
Make sure that the security groups for the Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster and its node groups are configured correctly. If any rule is missing, add it.
Warning
The configuration of security groups determines the performance and availability of the cluster and the services and applications running in it.
