Secure Azure Kubernetes Service: Foundational Controls

Deploying applications with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) offers immense flexibility, but securing these dynamic environments can be complex. Understanding how to implement robust security controls is crucial for protecting your cloud-native workloads. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently apply foundational security principles and implement key controls within Azure Kubernetes Service, ensuring your containerized applications are protected from common threats and vulnerabilities. What you'll learn: * Understand core security concepts for containerized applications and Kubernetes * Configure Microsoft Entra integration and Kubernetes RBAC for access control * Implement network policies and private cluster access to secure AKS communication * Apply workload identity for secure application access to Azure resources * Master Pod Security Standards and Admission Controllers to enforce workload hardening * Understand basic principles of supply chain security for container images * Implement fundamental logging and monitoring for AKS security events This course guides you through foundational security concepts, starting with identity and access management, then progressing to network security, workload hardening, and essential monitoring practices within AKS environments. This course is designed for beginners interested in securing cloud-native applications on Azure Kubernetes Service, with no prior experience in AKS security required. Begin your journey to building more secure and resilient AKS deployments today.
