Securing containers

This course is designed to teach you how to architect, harden, and defend containerized environments. You'll learn how to combat security drift, which is the silent accumulation of misconfigurations, unpatched operating systems, and over-privileged credentials. The goal is to help you implement a zero-trust, secure-by-default posture across every phase of the container lifecycle.

<h2>Stop Security Drift in Containerized Environments</h2>Container environments tend to drift out of shape over time as misconfigurations, unpatched nodes, and over-privileged credentials pile up. This intermediate course shows you how to architect, harden, and defend containerized workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) with a zero-trust, secure-by-default posture.<br><br><h2>Harden Clusters and Nodes</h2>You’ll establish baseline security with GKE Autopilot, which automates cluster hardening and patch management. Then you’ll reduce the attack surface of GKE worker nodes and control how human administrators access your clusters.<br><br><h2>Secure Identities, Secrets, and the Supply Chain</h2>Next, you’ll replace static service account keys with keyless, short-lived, least-privilege identities for your pods. You’ll protect sensitive credentials with Secret Manager and encrypt Kubernetes Secrets in etcd using Cloud KMS, then explore software supply chain security and runtime isolation. A hands-on lab brings it together. By the end, you’ll be able to secure containers at every phase of their lifecycle.
