So the goal here is to be able to leverage those tools and to make changes, which is probably what you're going to see on the CKS exam. First task, we're going to use Kube-bench. Kube-bench is going to allow us to be able to analyze the CIS benchmarks and make sure that we're within compliance. It'll also show you all the various findings that were uncovered and give you recommendations on how to fix them. And this particular task is wanting us to be able to fix any profiling security issues on the control-plane. You also need to be able to use Kubesec to be able to identify yaml deployment security issues. There'll be a number of different yaml files that we'll have access to.
