Leveling up Kubernetes Posture: From baselines to risk-aware admission

This document analyzes Kubernetes posture management, highlighting that built-in Pod Security Standards (PSA/PSS) provide a useful baseline but are coarse-grained and lack contextual risk reasoning; it argues for treating admission as a decision point that can incorporate workload identity, labels, Helm metadata, and vulnerability findings (using Sysdig as an example) to make more precise, risk-aware admission decisions while complementing runtime security.
