Ozzie and Nova: A Play About Kubernetes Security

Ozzie the Overconfident Operator has secured his cluster! He has added Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and carefully given cluster admin privileges to himself alone. As he self-congratulates, Nova the Nefarious Ne'er-do-well watches from around the corner, drooling with anticipation. Spoiler alert⎯Ozzie is about to get HACKED.

In this theatrical play, the speakers perform as Ozzie and Nova, playfully demonstrating cluster security as Nefarious Nova exploits each of Ozzie's oversights. What can Ozzie do when Nova gets the upper hand? How can Ozzie proactively keep Nova's threats at bay?

You’ll laugh out loud while discovering cloud native security concepts including Kubernetes network policies, mutual TLS, admission controller policy enforcement, runtime security, git commit signing, and multi-factor authentication.

Learn security basics alongside Overconfident Ozzie, who is sure the cluster is COMPLETELY secure this time. There is nothing Nova can do to break... uh-oh. Not again!
