Learn Kubernetes Security

Secure your container environment against cyberattacks and deliver robust deployments with this practical guide//Key Features// Explore a variety of Kubernetes components that help you to prevent cyberattacks Perform effective resource management and monitoring with Prometheus and built-in Kubernetes tools Learn techniques to prevent attackers from compromising applications and accessing resources for crypto-coin miningBook Description//Kubernetes is an open source orchestration platform for managing containerized applications. Despite widespread adoption of the technology DevOps engineers might be unaware of the pitfalls of containerized environments. With this comprehensive book you'll learn how to use the different security integrations available on the Kubernetes platform to safeguard your deployments in a variety of scenarios./Learn Kubernetes Security starts by taking you through the Kubernetes architecture and the networking model. You'll then learn about the Kubernetes threat model and get to grips with securing clusters. Throughout the book you'll cover various security aspects such as authentication authorization image scanning and resource monitoring. As you advance you'll learn about securing cluster components (the kube-apiserver CoreDNS and kubelet) and pods (hardening image security context and PodSecurityPolicy). With the help of hands-on examples you'll also learn how to use open source tools such as Anchore Prometheus OPA and Falco to protect your deployments./By the end of this Kubernetes book you'll have gained a solid understanding of container security and be able to protect your clusters from cyberattacks and mitigate cybersecurity threats./What you will learn// Understand the basics of Kubernetes architecture and networking Gain insights into different security integrations provided by the Kubernetes platform Delve into Kubernetes' threat modeling and security domains Explore different security configurations from a variety of practical examples Get to grips with using and deploying open source tools to protect your deployments Discover techniques to mitigate or prevent known Kubernetes hacksWho this book is for//This book is for security consultants cloud administrators system administrators and DevOps engineers interested in securing their container deployments.
