How to secure a Kubernetes cluster by preventing unwanted modules from loading

One very crucial task you can undertake is to prevent unwanted kernel modules from loading on your containers.

You'd be surprised at how many modules load at boot-many of them you probably don't need to be using within your containers.

You should be able to stop and start the container and see those blacklisted modules no longer loading.
