Course description
Stop letting unauthorized users access your Kubernetes APIs. You'll lock down a real grade submission API using role-based access control, the same security model that protects production systems at Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.
This hands-on course takes you from an unsecured API to a production-grade security implementation. You'll create service accounts, configure authentication tokens, and build precise permissions using kube-rbac-proxy as your security gatekeeper.
By the end, you'll understand the access control patterns that separate hobby projects from enterprise-ready systems. Every production Kubernetes cluster needs proper RBAC - learn how to implement it correctly.
