So, node hardening, right, if you think about it, really all of your Kubernetes cluster is, is a series of node, right nodes. That's what makes up a Kubernetes cluster. You have a bunch of nodes that know how to play nice with each other, and that plus the Kubernetes software, and you've got the Kubernetes cluster, right? So, since those nodes are a fundamental building block of the cluster, it's obviously highly important to make sure that those are properly secured so that there isn't weak points of entry into your cluster, particularly bad when you do that at a node level, since that's pretty much everything…
