The forest thickens as they approach Sonnenwacht castle. The night arrives early and unexpectedly.
"It's the longest night of the year," Rothütle whispers.
A figure steps from the shadows—tall, cloaked, face hidden beneath a mask.
"What are you doing out here?" Gord says, not expecting to see him.
The figure answers calmly, "I was looking for you. There has been some disturbance."
Gord turns back to Rothütle, "Meet YAML Voorhees. He's a guardian of the Order, and the prison warden."
She looks back at YAML Voorhees as she delivers the last sentence, blaming him for leaving his post.
"What kind of name is that?" Rothütle asks.
"It's short for Yvo Adrianus Matthijs Laurens Voorhees," YAML replies. "But everyone calls me YAML."
"What kind of disturbance?" Gord asks.
YAML Voorhees hesitates, looking at Rothütle. Gord nods for him to continue.
"Jack is here," YAML says quietly. "He's looking for the artifact. We need to secure it."
"So he's really here," Rothütle mutters.
"There is no time, come with me," Gord says, gripping her sword tightly.
Tip of the day: Misconfiguration in YAML files can lead to security vulnerabilities. Always validate and lint your YAML configurations before deploying them.
Security Tip #18: YAML Configuration Security
Kubernetes is complicated, and so are its configuration files. YAML files are used extensively to define Kubernetes resources, but misconfigurations can lead to security vulnerabilities. Always check the YAML files for common mistakes and security issues before deploying them.
- You can use SAST tools to scan your YAML files for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
- Always commit the configuration files to version control to track changes and review them.
- Use Helm charts to manage complex configurations and ensure consistency across environments.
