Description

Securing Secrets in containerized apps poses a significant challenge for Kubernetes IT professionals. This book tackles the critical task of safeguarding sensitive data, addressing the limitations of Kubernetes encryption, and establishing a robust Secrets management system for heightened security for Kubernetes. Starting with the fundamental Kubernetes architecture principles and how they apply to the design of Secrets management, this book delves into advanced Kubernetes concepts such as hands-on security, compliance, risk mitigation, disaster recovery, and backup strategies. With the help of practical, real-world guidance, you’ll learn how to mitigate risks and establish robust Secrets management as you explore different types of external secret stores, configure them in Kubernetes, and integrate them with existing Secrets management solutions. Further, you'll design, implement, and operate a secure method of managing sensitive payload by leveraging real use cases in an iterative process to enhance skills, practices, and analytical thinking, progressively strengthening the security posture with each solution. By the end of this book, you'll have a rock-solid Secrets management solution to run your business-critical applications in a hybrid multi-cloud scenario, addressing operational risks, compliance, and controls.

Must say, I didn't have some high expectations of this book - I mean, Kubernetes secrets... it's not something you would write a book on, right? I was mistaken! Enjoyed every page of this book! The authors managed to discuss the Kubernetes secrets deep and wide, and have to say - it's the only book on the subject (that I know of) and it's so good! Everything that may interest you in regards to Kubernetes secrets is covered. From concepts to using and debugging them, either in the lab or production, either on-premises or in the cloud(s) - everything is covered! And to top it all - there are also practical, real-world cases and examples! Highly recommend this book if you're working with Kubernetes!
