Practical Docker and Kubernetes Security: learn Container Hardening and Kubernetes Security with RBAC, Secure CI/CD Pipelines, and Real-World DevSecOp

By MAURICE H. CONNOR

Practical Docker and Kubernetes Security

KEY FEATURES

- Master container and Kubernetes security with real-world, hands-on workflows
- Build hardened Docker images using modern supply chain security practices
- Implement RBAC, Zero Trust networking, and least-privilege access at scale
- Secure CI/CD pipelines with automated scanning, SBOMs, and policy enforcement
- Detect and respond to runtime threats using modern cloud-native tooling
- Design production-ready Kubernetes architectures with defense-in-depth
- Learn through a continuous, real-world project that evolves with each chapter

Modern infrastructure moves fast. But security often lags behind-until something breaks.

This book closes that gap. Practical Docker and Kubernetes Security takes you beyond theory and into the reality of securing live systems. You'll build, break, and harden real workloads while learning how attackers actually think. From container escape paths to RBAC misconfigurations and insecure pipelines, every concept is grounded in practical execution.

By the end, you won't just understand Kubernetes security-you'll be able to engineer it. Confidently. Systematically. And in a way that holds up in production.

Why This Book Stands Out

This is not a checklist-driven security book. It's a systems-driven one. Instead of isolated tools and abstract principles, you learn how everything connects-containers, clusters, pipelines, and runtime behavior. The focus is on real attack paths, real defenses, and real engineering decisions. The result is a modern, future-ready approach to DevSecOps that reflects how cloud-native systems actually operate today.

Who This Book Is For

This book is written for developers, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, and security professionals who are building or managing Kubernetes-based systems and want to move beyond surface-level knowledge. If you've deployed containers but want to truly secure them-or if you're responsible for production systems and need confidence in your security posture-this book meets you where you are and takes you further.
