Get from Zero to Practitioner Level of Kubernetes Security in Cloud

Learning Kubernetes Security in AWS Cloud (Amazon EKS Security) with Lab & Projects for both Engineers and Architects

Do you want to level up your Kubernetes Security skills in AWS Cloud?

Most organizations use Kubernetes in Cloud or Managed Kubernetes to build, deploy and release modern applications (including the AI based applications).

If transitioning to Cloud Security or level up your confidence in Kubernetes Security in AWS Cloud is your goal then this is the course will provide you that.

The Kubernetes Security in Cloud for Cloud Security Engineers and Architects can be understood in 5 Levels.

Each level builds on the other to help you get from a stage of minimum knowledge of Kubernetes to securing Kubernetes hosted products, applications and softwares in Cloud production environments.

Note all levels have practical labs with walkthrough and access to community so you can connect with others in your “Level ‘X’ Group”, where ‘X’ is the level you are currently working to excel in.

In this training course(s), you will be learn

Level 1 - Kubernetes Building Blocks

Level 2 - Cloud Security Building Blocks

Level 3 - Kubernetes in Cloud Building Blocks

Level 4 - Defining & Building Cloud Securing Patterns for Amazon EKS

What’s included at Each Level

  • Access to the Selected Level community

  • Access to ChaGPT App to understand topics

  • Access to the Course Material (Pre-Recorded - 2024 version)

What’s not included:

  • Coverage of open source tools that are thousands in number

  • AWS Accounts - the students should create their own AWS labs. (This is to ensure real world experience and not the simulation of a perfect lab. The students are encouraged to ask questions in the “community“ to help resolve any issues as they would in a real job with the help of other experts.)
