Led by our esteemed Kubernetes instructor and renowned course author, the workshop begins with a brief overview of the main domains, exam structure, testing environment, and scoring criteria. Following that, our instructor will address any questions you may have regarding unclear topics and provide valuable tips on effectively managing your exam time.

By the end of the workshop, armed with newfound knowledge and a confident mindset, you will be well-prepared to conquer the CKA and CKAD exams.

Kubernetes security is a critical aspect of maintaining the integrity and protection of containerized applications and infrastructure. One key area of focus is user management and authorizations within Kubernetes. User authentication and authorization mechanisms play a pivotal role in ensuring that only authorized individuals or entities have access to the Kubernetes cluster and its resources. Understanding the various authentication methods, such as certificates, tokens, and external identity providers, is essential for establishing a secure user authentication process. Additionally, configuring role-based access control (RBAC) policies and defining appropriate roles and permissions are vital for managing user authorizations effectively. Overall, a comprehensive understanding of Kubernetes user management and authorizations is crucial for establishing a secure and controlled environment for containerized applications.

In this workshop we will discuss:

• how does Kubernetes establishes the identity of a request
• how can we authenticate identities from different sources into a Kubernetes cluster
• How Role Based Access Control works

Understanding Kubernetes networking is crucial for successful deployment and management of containerized applications. It enables efficient communication and coordination between containers, allowing them to work seamlessly across multiple nodes in a cluster. Without a solid grasp of Kubernetes networking concepts like services, pods, and ingress, it becomes challenging to optimize performance, ensure security, and troubleshoot issues within the cluster.

In this workshop we will first investigate how containers can be connected to the network with the help of the different functionalities provided by the Linux kernel. Next we will dive deep into the service concept, trying to answer the “Why do we need services?”, “What are  they doing?” and most importantly “How?” questions.
