Securing, observing, and troubleshooting containerized workloads on Kubernetes can be daunting. It requires a range of considerations, from infrastructure choices and cluster configuration to deployment controls and runtime and network security. With this practical book, you'll learn how to adopt a holistic security and observability strategy for building and securing cloud native applications running on Kubernetes.

Whether you're already working on cloud native applications or are in the process of migrating to its architecture, this guide introduces key security and observability concepts and best practices to help you unleash the power of cloud native applications. Authors Brendan Creane and Amit Gupta from Tigera take you through the full breadth of new cloud native approaches for establishing security and observability for applications running on Kubernetes.

Learn why you need a security and observability strategy for cloud native applications and determine your scope of coverage
Understand key concepts behind the book's security and observability approach
Explore the technology choices available to support this strategy
Discover how to share security responsibilities across multiple teams or roles
Learn how to architect Kubernetes security and observability for multicloud and hybrid environments

Who This Book Is For:
This book is for a broad range of Kubernetes practitioners who are in the pilot/pre-production stage of adoption. You may be a platform engineer or part of the security or DevOps team. Some of you are the first in your organization to adopt Kubernetes and want to do security and observability right from the start. Others are helping to establish best practices within an organization that has already adopted Kubernetes but has not yet solved the security and observability challenges Kubernetes presents. We assume you have basic knowledge of Kubernetes—what it is and how to use it as an orchestration tool for hosting applications. We also assume you understand how applications are deployed and their distributed nature in a Kubernetes cluster.

Within this broad audience, there are many different roles. Here is a nonexhaustive list of teams that help design and implement Kubernetes-based architectures that will find value in this book. Please note that the role names may be different in your organization, so please look at the responsibilities for each to identify the corresponding role in your organization. We will use these names throughout the book to help you understand how a concept impacts each role.
