As Kubernetes adoption continues to surge, security stands out as a top concern. In Red Hat's 2023 survey of 600 DevOps, engineering, and security professionals from across the globe, 67% reported slowing down deployment due to Kubernetes security concerns. Learning how to enforce best practices with policy-as-code is a valuable skill that will help you deploy with speed and confidence.

A Look at the Project Ahead

In this project you'll take on the role of a DevSecOps champion advocating for the adoption of policy-as-code within your team. You will learn

What "policy-as-code" means and the motivation behind it
How Kyverno can help you implement policy-as-code
The anatomy of a Kyverno policy
How to write Kyverno policies to enforce (or audit) compliance with best practices
How to Deploy Kyverno policies to a Kubernetes cluster

What You'll Need

This guided project runs in the IBM Skills Network Labs environment, which has everything you'll need pre-installed. This lab is about policies that affect Kubernetes deployments, so the more you know about Kubernetes, the more you'll get out of it. If you've ever used the `kubectl` CLI, and know what the terms "pod" and "deployment" mean in the context of Kubernetes, you should be good to go.
