01

Stabilize the payments-api rollout: inspect CrashLoopBackOff logs, fix the bad image reference/pull failure, and address memory pressure so pods can schedule and remain healthy.

02

Reduce exposure in the payments namespace: confirm the public LoadBalancer is required, then implement default-deny NetworkPolicies and restrict any external access to only approved sources.

03

Harden the payments-api workload: replace the default service account with a least-privilege dedicated account, disable token automount if not needed, and add resource requests/limits plus readiness/liveness probes.

▼
  • The payments namespace in the AKS cluster has multiple high-impact availability and exposure issues: a public LoadBalancer Service, no NetworkPolicy isolation, and an externally exposed workload using the default service account.
  • Cluster health is degraded: one node is NotReady with MemoryPressure, and warning events show both scheduling failures and image pull failures affecting payments-api.
  • The payments-api Deployment is operationally weak, with CrashLoopBackOff status, missing probes, missing resource requests/limits, and a writable root filesystem.
  • Security posture is weakened by default service account token automounting, missing RuntimeDefault seccomp, and an externally exposed workload inheriting that default identity.
  • Overall, the namespace needs immediate workload stabilization and exposure reduction before normal reliability or security tuning can be effective.
