Abstract: Systems and methods for securing label metadata. One aspect presented herein includes a container orchestration system comprising a plurality of worker nodes, able to run application containers; an orchestrator node to orchestrate application container deployment on the plurality of worker nodes via a virtual network layer, wherein the plurality of worker nodes and the orchestrator node form a cluster, the orchestrator node comprising an API server that serves as an entry point to the cluster; an encryption layer run on the master node comprising a processor and a computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the processor to: receive a deployment file via the API server; associate an encryption key with the sensitive metadata; receive a request for data, via the virtual network layer, from at least one worker node, wherein the request for data includes the sensitive metadata; provide the sensitive metadata to the at least one worker node.
