Course Outline
Cluster Setup
- Implement Network security policies to limit access at the cluster level
- Leverage the CIS benchmark to assess 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
- Validate platform binaries prior to deployment
Cluster Hardening
- Limit access to the Kubernetes API
- Utilize Role Based Access Controls to reduce exposure
- Exercise caution when using service accounts, for example by disabling defaults and minimizing permissions for newly created ones
- Apply Kubernetes updates regularly
System Hardening
- Reduce the host OS footprint to lower the attack surface
- Limit IAM roles
- Restrict external network access
- Apply kernel hardening tools such as AppArmor and seccomp where appropriate
Minimize Microservice Vulnerabilities
- Establish appropriate OS-level security domains, such as using PSP, OPA, and security contexts
- Manage Kubernetes secrets securely
- Employ container runtime sandboxes in multi-tenant environments (e.g., gvisor, kata containers)
- Implement pod-to-pod encryption using mTLS
Supply Chain Security
- Reduce the size of base images
- Secure the supply chain by whitelisting allowed image registries and signing and validating images
- Apply static analysis to 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 the host and container levels to identify malicious behavior
- Identify threats across physical infrastructure, applications, networks, data, users, and workloads
- Detect all phases of an attack, regardless of location or propagation method
- Carry out in-depth analytical investigations to identify bad actors within the environment
- Ensure container immutability during runtime
- Utilize Audit Logs to monitor access patterns
Requirements
- CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) certification
Audience
- Kubernetes practitioners
