Course Outline
Cluster Setup
- Implement Network security policies to restrict cluster-level access
- Apply the CIS benchmark to review the security configuration of Kubernetes components (etcd, kubelet, kubedns, kubeapi)
- Configure Ingress objects with appropriate security controls
- Safeguard node metadata and endpoints
- Limit the use of and access to GUI elements
- Verify platform binaries prior to deployment
Cluster Hardening
- Limit access to the Kubernetes API
- Leverage Role-Based Access Controls to minimize exposure
- Exercise caution when using service accounts, for example by disabling defaults and minimizing permissions on newly created accounts
- Keep Kubernetes updated regularly
System Hardening
- Reduce the host OS footprint to lower the attack surface
- Minimize IAM roles
- Restrict external access to the network
- Effectively utilize kernel hardening tools such as AppArmor and seccomp
Minimizing Microservice Vulnerabilities
- Establish appropriate OS-level security domains using PSP, OPA, and security contexts
- Manage Kubernetes secrets securely
- Utilize container runtime sandboxes in multi-tenant environments (e.g., gvisor, kata containers)
- Implement pod-to-pod encryption using mTLS
Supply Chain Security
- Reduce the base image footprint
- Secure the supply chain by whitelisting allowed image registries and signing and validating images
- Perform static analysis of user workloads (e.g., Kubernetes resources, Dockerfiles)
- Scan images for known vulnerabilities
Monitoring, Logging, and Runtime Security
- Conduct behavioral analytics of syscall processes and file activities at both host and container levels to identify malicious activities
- Detect threats across physical infrastructure, applications, networks, data, users, and workloads
- Identify all phases of attacks regardless of their origin or spread
- Carry out deep analytical investigations to identify bad actors within the environment
- Ensure container immutability during runtime
- Use Audit Logs to monitor access
Requirements
- CKA (Certified Kubernates Administrator) certification
Target Audience
- Kubernetes practitioners

As i said before , for a person like me (no exp. ) this was a gateway to understanding features and functions with these programs/tools & etc. .
