What goes into building a secure kubernetes cluster? Most of the reading you’ll find focuses on TLS and container design. An area that is often overlooked is identity management. Who’s accessing the cluster? Why do they need access? Do they still need access? Are they accessing the cluster using the correct credentials? In this class we’ll build a kubernetes cluster with identity management as the primary focus. You’ll learn how to:
1. Use centralized authentication for the nodes and masters at the host level
2. Integrate a running cluster with OpenID Connect
3. Automate the creation of network and pod security policies
4. Lock down access to the Kubernetes dashboard
5. Integrate Jenkins into your cluster and lock down its access
In addition to building your cluster, we’ll explore how identity interacts through your pipeline and container registry strategies. By the time you’re done with this class you’ll have seen how identity and automation plays a crucial role in securing your clusters.
