Kubernetes is widely adopted for managing containerized applications, therefore, ensuring its security is crucial. This talk will demonstrate that securing your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, while it may seem challenging, is quite manageable with the right practices.

This session explores setting up private connections to Azure Container Registry, enabling secure image storage and retrieval. It also covers integrating Azure Policy to enforce security standards across your clusters, and how Entra Workload ID provides secure access to resources without the need for managing secrets.

Private clusters enhance the security by restricting access to the cluster's API server endpoint. Various authentication options, such as using Entra ID, ensure that only authorized users can access your resources. However, accessing private clusters from Azure DevOps pipelines presents unique challenges. This talk addresses these by explaining how to configure service connections and use managed identities effectively.

Attend this session for a comprehensive overview of these security features, complete with practical demos and expert tips. Whether you are new to AKS or looking to enhance your existing security measures, this session will provide valuable insights to help you secure your Kubernetes environment effectively.
