Learn Kubernetes Security: Securely orchestrate, scale, and manage your microservices in Kubernetes deployments
Secure your container environment against cyberattacks and deliver robust deployments with this practical guide
Key FeaturesExplore a variety of Kubernetes components that help you to prevent cyberattacksPerform effective resource management and monitoring with Prometheus and built-in Kubernetes toolsLearn techniques to prevent attackers from compromising applications and accessing resources for crypto-coin miningBook DescriptionKubernetes 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 learnUnderstand the basics of Kubernetes architecture and networkingGain insights into different security integrations provided by the Kubernetes platformDelve into Kubernetes' threat modeling and security domainsExplore different security configurations from a variety of practical examplesGet to grips with using and deploying open source tools to protect your deploymentsDiscover techniques to mitigate or prevent known Kubernetes hacksWho this book is forThis book is for security consultants, cloud administrators, system administrators, and DevOps engineers interested in securing their container deployments. If you're looking to secure your Kubernetes clusters and cloud-based deployments, you'll find this book useful. A basic understanding of cloud computing and containerization is necessary to make the most of this book.

Covers semantic and architectural issues
This is a great book on Kubernetes and container security. It led me down paths to finding specific configurable but also an excellent view of the overall security architecture. The threat modeling portions, as well as the tool suggestions, were the best of their kind.

I expected books on security to be more thorough. Here, there's a lot of general info on Kubernetes objects and obvious security measures, not necessarily related to Kubernetes platform.
IMO, the only valuable piece of info were detection tools, rules and practical examples.
