PRODUCT DETAILS
"Implementing DevSecOps with Docker and Kubernetes" by José Manuel Ortega Candel is a practical guidebook focused on integrating security practices into the DevOps workflow using Docker containers and Kubernetes orchestration. The book emphasizes the importance of embedding security measures early in the software development lifecycle to ensure robust and secure deployments.
Key topics covered in the book include:
1. **Introduction to DevSecOps**: An overview of DevSecOps principles, emphasizing collaboration between development, operations, and security teams to automate security practices.
2. **Docker Fundamentals**: Explanation of Docker containers, Dockerfiles, Docker Compose, and best practices for building, securing, and managing Dockerized applications.
3. **Kubernetes Essentials**: Introduction to Kubernetes, including pod management, deployment strategies, scaling applications, and implementing security policies within Kubernetes clusters.
4. **Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)**: Strategies for integrating security checks into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and GitHub Actions.
5. **Container Security**: Techniques for securing Docker containers, including image scanning, vulnerability management, container isolation, and runtime security monitoring.
6. **Kubernetes Security**: Best practices for securing Kubernetes clusters, configuring network policies, implementing role-based access control (RBAC), and auditing Kubernetes deployments.
7. **DevSecOps Tools**: Overview of security tools and frameworks for implementing DevSecOps practices, including container security platforms, vulnerability scanners, logging, and monitoring solutions.
8. **Case Studies and Practical Examples**: Real-world case studies and hands-on examples demonstrating the implementation of DevSecOps principles with Docker and Kubernetes.
Throughout the book, José Manuel Ortega Candel combines theoretical concepts with practical guidance, code snippets, and recommended tools to help readers understand and implement DevSecOps practices effectively. It targets developers, DevOps engineers, security professionals, and anyone involved in deploying and managing containerized applications with a focus on security and scalability.
