Our securing Kubernetes course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the processes and practices around securing Kubernetes including application and image security, logging, network policy/segmentation, Kubernetes control plane security and auditing, and RBAC configuration.
This intensive two-day hands-on course is designed to provide working platform operators and other technology professionals with a comprehensive introduction to the processes and practices around securing Kubernetes. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of Kubernetes and container-based security concerns. Day one focuses on foundational security concerns including securing cloud native applications, container isolation, image security, and network policy/segmentation. On day two students will gain hands-on experience with Kubernetes authentication, control plane security, etcd security as well as RBAC configuration and management. The class concludes with a look at keylogging and metrics monitoring as well as Kubernetes security auditing features. Upon completion of the course, attendees will have the skills and information necessary to effectively secure a production-grade Kubernetes cluster.
