Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) K8s Integration
Apono’s declarative Access Flows provide namespace and cluster level permissions, allowing separation between environments, bound to a predefined duration.
Use Cases
Developer JIT Access
- Limit access to the minimum required permissions and implementing strict controls on when those permissions are granted, JIT access helps enhance overall security. This proactive approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches.
- Integrate JIT access with your incident response plan. In the event of a security incident, having the ability to quickly adjust access permissions can be crucial for containing and mitigating the impact.
- Utilize JIT access with your identity management systems. This integration streamlines the process of aligning access permissions with changes in user roles, making it more efficient and less prone to errors.

GKE Secure Break-glass Access
- Manage break-glass access, balancing the need for emergency access with the imperative of maintaining robust security measures.
- Implement robust logging and monitoring systems to track and record break-glass access events.
- Dynamically grant only the permissions needed for the task at hand to prevent costly mistakes in production and downtime.
Developer_on_Duty
GKE Automated Access
- Escape the frustration of ticket fatigue and the time-consuming nature of manual provisioning through the implementation of automated access flows.
- Embrace innovation to revolutionize your workflow, saving time and resources, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring a secure access management system.
- Automate your access control and witness a transformative shift in permission allocation within your organization.

GKE 
Apono automates access management to GKE. Apono empowers you to craft dynamic Access Flows, providing on-demand permissions with meticulous granularity and comprehensive audit capabilities.
Continuous Access Monitoring & Conversion to Auto-Revoked Policies
Employ advanced monitoring mechanisms to vigilantly track and manage instances of unused access and over-privileges within your organizational framework. Leverage cutting-edge “Just-in-Time” access controls, which grant permissions precisely when required, and complement this with “Just Enough” conversion suggestions that provide nuanced recommendations for optimizing access levels.
Kubernetes Dynamic Access Management
Integrate dynamic roles seamlessly into your existing role-based access control (RBAC) infrastructure, enhancing its flexibility and adaptability. Elevate your access management capabilities by introducing automated approval workflows tailored to your specific needs. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines the assignment of roles but also ensures a responsive and efficient approval process, contributing to a more robust and secure access control mechanism within your system.
Tailored Production Engineer Access
Implement a tailored approach to permissions management by ensuring that access to sensitive resources is precisely calibrated to the specific needs and responsibilities of each user or system. This involves meticulously providing right-size permissions, aligning with the principle of least privilege. By adopting this meticulous strategy, you not only enhance the overall security posture of your system but also minimize the potential risks associated with excessive or insufficient access.
Customer Data Separation
Empower your organization by granting ownership to specific resources, while concurrently providing full audit capabilities that not only meet but surpass customer security requirements. Implementing this allows you to confidently navigate and fulfill stringent security mandates, fostering a culture of trust and diligence in resource management.
How Apono works in 3 steps
Three easy steps are what it takes to create Just-In-Time and Just Enough
permissions for everyone with access to your cloud assets and resources.
Automatically discover all resources managed by Github.
Define dynamic permission workflows and approval processes.
And that’s it! Now your team can directly request access to granular resources in a single click, automatically provisioned when you need it or shipped for approval – no more waiting for permissions or leaving them behind.
