09 Pipeline Security & Secret Management

Description

Your CI/CD pipeline is both a powerful automation tool and a potential attack vector. This video covers how to lock it down end-to-end: Binary Authorization for deploy-time image verification, Secret Manager for credentials, KMS for encryption key management, and VPC Service Controls for data exfiltration prevention. You'll learn supply chain security concepts like SLSA, how to implement signed attestations, and the security patterns the exam loves to test. 🎯 What you'll learn: Binary Authorization: attestors, policies, and enforcement Secret Manager: versions, rotation, and IAM integration Cloud KMS: key hierarchies, rotation, and envelope encryption VPC Service Controls and service perimeters Software supply chain security (SLSA framework) Container image signing and vulnerability gating Security best practices the exam tests heavily 📚 This is Video 9 of 15 in the GCP Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer certification series. 🔬 Hands-On Lab Resources: Google Cloud Skills Boost — DevOps Engineer Learning Path: https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/paths/20 GKE Security Best Practices (Skill Badge): https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/paths/20 Binary Authorization Docs: https://cloud.google.com/binary-authorization/docs Secret Manager Quickstart: https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager/docs/quickstart #GoogleCloud #GCP #Security #BinaryAuthorization #SecretManager #KMS #SupplyChainSecurity #DevOps #SLSA
