Kubernetes for Beginners: In Practice
RCCE students will learn Kubernetes container orchestration security including cluster hardening, pod security policies/standards, RBAC configuration, network policies, secrets management, admission controllers, and runtime security monitoring. RCCE students will learn to secure Kubernetes clusters from deployment through runtime, configure role-based access control for cluster resources, implement pod security standards to restrict container capabilities, write network policies for micro-segmentation, manage secrets securely within clusters, deploy admission controllers to enforce security policies, scan container images for vulnerabilities, and monitor cluster activity for suspicious behavior. Designed for students with no prior experience in this area, this course builds knowledge from the ground up with clear explanations, guided demonstrations, and progressive skill-building. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn core concepts through practical examples that connect theory to real-world security operations. By completion, students will have the foundational knowledge and hands-on confidence needed to contribute in professional cybersecurity roles.
