DevSecOps, short for Development, Security, and Operations, represents a holistic approach encompassing culture, automation, and platform design. It intertwines security as a collective responsibility across the entire IT lifecycle. DevOps goes beyond development and operations teams. To fully harness the agility and responsiveness of DevOps, IT security must be an integral part of the entire application lifecycle.
This comprehensive course provides a step-by-step roadmap for implementing robust security practices and tools within your DevOps framework. The journey begins with an exploration of DevOps architecture and its connection to DevSecOps, followed by a deep dive into two key container management platforms: Docker and Kubernetes. You will become proficient in container management, mastering tasks such as handling Docker files, acquiring and constructing custom container images, and optimizing them for efficiency.
In the subsequent sections, the course covers fortifying your DevOps tools with an added layer of security. You'll discover how to utilize Docker Registry, create your own registry, employ Docker Content Trust, safeguard your Docker daemon and host through Apparmor and Seccomp security profiles, implement Docker Bench Security, and perform audits on your Docker host. You'll also gain insights into protecting and analyzing vulnerabilities within your Docker images to prevent corruption, employing tools like Clair, Quay, Anchore, and the CVE database. You'll explore the creation and management of Docker secrets, networks, and port mapping. The course equips you with security monitoring tools like cAdvisor, Dive, Falco, as well as administration tools such as Portainer, Rancher, and Openshift.
The final part focuses on Kubernetes Security practices. You'll learn how to identify, address, and prevent security risks within Kubernetes and apply best security practices.
