Containerized Deployment:
Shade’s applications are deployed in isolated containers (e.g., Kubernetes pods), each with strictly defined resource boundaries. This approach prevents unintended data exposure between clients, as separate containers run their own set of processes and configurations. By applying per-container network policies, the risk of lateral movement within the cluster is minimized, and each container’s permissions are tightly controlled through Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
