What you'll learn

Running Kubernetes without proper security controls exposes your infrastructure to significant risks — from unauthorized access to data breaches and compromised containers. In this course, Configuring and Managing Kubernetes Security, you'll learn to implement comprehensive security controls for production Kubernetes environments. First, you'll explore securing cluster access through Role-based Access Control (RBAC) for service accounts and implementing Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) for end users. Next, you'll discover how to secure the applications running in your cluster by scanning container images for vulnerabilities and enforcing security policies inside the cluster. Finally, you'll learn how to protect application communication using Network Policies to control traffic flow and implement secure secrets management with the Secrets Store CSI Driver. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to implement defense-in-depth security for Kubernetes, protecting your clusters from common attack vectors while maintaining operational efficiency.
