Kubernetes Architecture and Guardrails: Lab Series
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. This architecture course teaches secure system design using proven patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to evaluate design options against security requirements, make informed trade-off decisions, and build systems that are resilient by design. Students gain the architectural thinking skills needed for security engineering and solution design roles.
