Hardening Default GKE Cluster Configurations

This self-paced lab, "Hardening Default GKE Cluster Configurations," is designed to help you understand and mitigate security concerns in a default Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster configuration. Throughout the course, you will gain hands-on experience in creating a small GKE cluster using default settings and validating security vulnerabilities and corresponding hardening measures to prevent pod escape and cluster privilege escalation.

By the end of the lab, you will have learned:

• How to create a small GKE cluster using default settings
• Validation of common paths of pod escape and cluster privilege escalation from the perspective of a malicious internal user
• Implementation of measures to prevent pod escape and cluster privilege escalation

This course is ideal for security professionals, cloud administrators, and anyone interested in securing GKE clusters. Gain valuable insights and practical skills to enhance the security of your GKE cluster environment.
