A practical and up-to-date roadmap to securing cloud containers on AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Securing Cloud Containers: Building and Running Secure Cloud-Native Applications is a hands-on guide that shows you how to secure containerized applications and cloud infrastructure, including Kubernetes. The authors address the most common obstacles and pain points that security professionals, DevOps engineers, and IT architects encounter in the development of cloud applications, including industry standard compliance and adherence to security best practices.
The book provides step-by-step instructions on the strategies and tools you can use to develop secure containers, as well as real-world examples of secure cloud-native applications. After an introduction to containers and Kubernetes, you'll explore the architecture of containerized applications, best practices for container security, security automation tools, the use of Artificial Intelligence in cloud security, and more.
Docker is one of the pioneers of containerization. It allows developers to package applications and all their dependencies into a single, portable container. Whether you're running on a developer's laptop, a staging server, or a massive cloud platform, the app behaves exactly the same. The reason developers love Docker is because it's lightweight, fast to start, and easy to use by beginners, and it works seamlessly on everything, whether your laptop, the cloud, or Internet of Thinks (IoT) devices.
Kubernetes is like the manager of a containerized environment. It handles deploying, scaling, and managing containers automatically. It's perfect for large-scale, complex systems where you need multiple containers working together. The reason why experienced developers love Kubernetes is because of features like auto scaling, self-healing capability, and the ability to work on multiple cloud providers including on premises.
There are other container orchestration platforms; however, due to the usability of Kubernetes, the focus of this book is on the Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cloud-based Kubernetes containers.
Inside the book:
- An in-depth discussion of implementing a Zero Trust model in cloud environments
- Additional resources, including a glossary of important cloud and container security terms, recommendations for further reading, and lists of useful platform-specific tools (for Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform)
- An introduction to SecDevOps in cloud-based containers, including tools and frameworks designed for Azure, GCP, and AWS platforms
Who Should Read This Book:
This book is for professionals at the intersection of security, cloud, and development. Whether you wear the hat of:
