Inhaltsangabe

Gain a working knowledge of Secrets Management from a Kubernetes platform and application perspective to design, implement, and maintain a production-grade hybrid multi-cloud solution including compliance and business continuity

Key Features

• Master secrets encryption with complex life cycle, key rotation, access control, backup, and recovery
• Learn to audit secret consumption, troubleshoot, and optimize for efficiency and compliance
• Manage secrets confidently with real world cases to strengthen applications' security posture

Book Description

Kubernetes IT pros face a challenge in securing containerized app secrets. This book tackles the critical task of safeguarding sensitive data, addressing Kubernetes encryption limitations, and establishing a robust secrets management system for heightened security. With this book readers will able to build a production-ready secrets management system for k8s.

The book starts with the Kubernetes architecture principles and how it applies to the design of secrets management. You'll dive into advanced Kubernetes concepts, including hands-on security, compliance, risk mitigation, disaster recovery, and backup strategies. Later, learn to mitigate risks and establish robust secrets management with practical, real-world guidance. You'll also explore different types of external secret stores, how to configure it in Kubernetes and integrate them with existing secrets management solutions. Further, you'll design, implement, and operate a secure way of managing sensitive payload by leveraging real use cases through an iterative process to build skills, practice, and analytical thinking to define and strengthen the security posture with each solution.

By the end of the book, you'll have a rock-solid secrets management solution to run your business-critical applications in a hybrid multi-cloud scenario with the operational risks, compliance and controls.
