Yongkang - Locking Down GKE - Secure Your Containers with KubeArmor

Description

Locking Down GKE: Secure Your Containers with KubeArmor Yongkang He Founder @KSUG.AI @KubeSmart.AI | Creator @awstronaut @kubestrong As organizations move workloads to Kubernetes on Google Cloud, container security becomes a critical challenge. In this session, we’ll dive into KubeArmor, an open-source runtime security enforcement system designed to safeguard Kubernetes workloads through fine-grained policies and zero-trust execution. We’ll start with an introduction to KubeArmor—its architecture, core features, and why it’s a must-have for Kubernetes security. Next, you’ll learn how to automate the creation of a GKE cluster, deploy a containerized application, and finally apply KubeArmor policies to lock down your workloads against unauthorized actions. Whether you’re new to Kubernetes security or looking to strengthen your GKE environment, this session provides a hands-on guide to improving your cloud-native security posture.
