Abstract

Organizations are rapidly adopting containers and Kubernetes to more easily develop and manage the applications that drive business value. However, to get the biggest bang for your Kubernetes buck, you need strong multi-tenancy with security built-in at all layers of the software stack. You need to match the speed and agility of Kubernetes with both proactive and reactive security measures. You need defense in depth. In this session, Red Hat’s Kirsten Newcomer will identify the most common layers in a typical container deployment, and discuss technologies and deployment patterns you can use to ensure strong multi-tenancy at each layer. These layers include: the container host, the container platform, networking, storage and api management. Kirsten will also touch on best practices for managing container content, and registries, the build process, and the deployment process in a multi-tenant cluster.
