Why are VM-Series firewalls and hardware firewalls that are external to the Kubernetes cluster problematic for protecting containerized workloads?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

VM-Series firewalls and hardware firewalls that are external to the Kubernetes cluster are problematic for protecting containerized workloads because they are located outside the cluster and have no visibility into application-level cluster traffic. Kubernetes is a platform that provides orchestration, automation, and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes cluster traffic consists of traffic between containers within a pod, across pods, or across namespaces. VM-Series firewalls and hardware firewalls that are external to the Kubernetes cluster cannot inspect or control this traffic, as they only see the encapsulated or aggregated traffic at the network layer. This creates blind spots and security gaps for containerized workloads. VM-Series firewalls and hardware firewalls that are external to the Kubernetes cluster are not problematic for protecting containerized workloads because they do not scale independently of the Kubernetes cluster, are managed by another entity when located inside the cluster, or function differently based on whether they are located inside or outside of the cluster, as those are not valid reasons or scenarios for firewall deployment in a Kubernetes environment.

Ha! Trying to secure containers with external firewalls is like trying to catch a cloud with a net. Option A is the only sensible choice.

That's right, they have no visibility into the application-level traffic.

I agree, external firewalls can't see inside the cluster.

D is also an interesting choice. The location of the firewall can definitely impact its functionality. But I think A is the most relevant answer here.

I agree with Carman. These external firewalls are blind to the internal cluster traffic, rendering them useless for securing containers. Option A is the way to go.

Definitely, it's important to have security measures that can monitor cluster traffic.

Option A is the correct answer. VM-Series firewalls and hardware firewalls outside the cluster can't see the traffic within the cluster, making them ineffective for protecting containerized workloads.
