Pod Security Standards (PSS) are a low‑friction way to harden clusters by default. With Pod Security Admission (PSA), you can enforce least‑privilege at the namespace level and prevent risky pods from ever being created. It’s simple, auditable, and fits cleanly into GitOps. Improving your security posture Implementing Pod Security Standards is crucial as it helps reduce the blast radius by blocking privilege escalation and host-level access. It allows teams to catch misconfigurations early during the admission phase rather than after deployments, ensuring issues are addressed promptly.

Private Cloud Reimagined: Thalassa Cloud’s Mission to Bring Control and Freedom Back to Your Infrastructure

Redefining Cloud Infrastructure As cloud computing becomes an integral part of every business strategy, many organizations find themselves at a critical juncture. Public cloud platforms offer scalability and ease of use, but often come with hidden trade-offs—lack of control, escalating costs, and potential vendor lock-in. For enterprises looking to scale without compromising control over their data and operations, a private cloud offers a promising alternative. At Thalassa Cloud, we believe businesses shouldn’t have to choose between flexibility and autonomy.
