Cloud Native Security

What is Cloud Native Security

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) publishes the following CNCF Cloud Native Definition v1.0: "Cloud native technologies empower organizations to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. Containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infrastructure, and declarative APIs exemplify this approach."

We take the liberty to roughly paraphrase that definition as containers, applications and tools running on a flavor of the Kubernetes platform.

Cloud Native Security in our view deals with securing applications and tools to secure the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) on a flavor of the Kubernetes platform.

For the Cloud Native Security Conference, we have defined 3 tracks:

  • Application Security,
  • Data Security, and
  • DevSecOps.

About this workshop

The labs in this workshop have originally been created for the Cloud Native Security Conference on June 24-25 and July 1, 2020.

Compatability

This workshop has been tested on the following platforms:

  • Lab1: IKS 1.17, 2 worker nodes of flavor b3c.4x16, single zone, and Cloud Shell version 0.6.9
  • Lab2: IKS 1.17, 1 worker node of flavor b3c.4x16, single zone, and Cloud Shell version 0.6.9
  • Lab3: ROKS 4.3, 3 worker nodes of flavor b3c.4x16, single zone, and Cloud Shell version 0.6.9

Credits

Many folks have contributed to help shape, test, and contribute to the workshop.

There are many others that deserve credits and we are grateful for everyone's good spirit and support.
