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.
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
An invaluable and practical resource for IT system administrators, cloud engineers, cybersecurity and SecDevOps professionals, and related IT and security practitioners, Securing Cloud Containers is an up-to-date and accurate roadmap to cloud container security that explains the "why" and "how" of securing containers on the AWS, GCP, and Azure platforms.
A hands-on roadmap to securing AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud containers
In Securing Cloud Containers: Building and Running Secure Cloud-Native Applications, a team of cloud security experts delivers a hands-on guide to securing containerized applications and cloud infrastructure, including Kubernetes. The book offers solutions to the most common obstacles and challenges faced by security professionals, DevOps engineers, and IT architects developing cloud applications.
