This advanced learning path dives deep into the complex security landscape of containerized applications and Kubernetes orchestration. You will master the entire container lifecycle, from building secure, minimal Docker images and scanning for vulnerabilities, to hardening Kubernetes clusters using Network Policies, Pod Security Standards, and RBAC. The curriculum covers defending against container escapes, securing the software supply chain, and implementing runtime security monitoring. Through hands-on labs, you will learn to architect resilient, zero-trust container environments that protect against modern cloud-native threats.
