Kubernetes Platform Security: A framework to think about it and some practical advice

Wednesday, 11:00 AM EST - BEACH BREEZE

Containers enable rapid development and rapid software delivery - and with that increase in speed comes a need to shift how people think about and tackle security. Running those containers is part of this consideration - the platform and container orchestration has to figure out and handle all of the moving parts.

In this talk, Laine and Josh will give their recommendations for Kubernetes as a platform to run containers. They'll go through talking about security from the perspective of the pieces that make up the container - the ingredients, and how it runs in addition to where it runs. They'll discuss application and platform boundaries while explaining a simple model to use in order to think about and discuss this complex topic.

About Laine Minor

Laine Minor

Laine has been a developer, a technical lead, a stay at home mom, and an IT architect – and that last was a broad enough title that it let her do both technical things AND cultural things.

She realized then that that was her most favorite place to be, in that in-between place of technology and culture.

She also learned that enabling people and organizations is HARD work, and that explaining that in-between place can help.
