Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (Cks) Study Guide: In-Depth Guidance and Practice

Vulnerabilities in software and IT infrastructure pose a major threat to organizations. In response, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) developed the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) certification to verify an administrator's proficiency to protect Kubernetes clusters and the cloud native software they contain. This practical book helps you fully prepare for the certification exam by walking you through all of the topics covered.

Different from typical multiple-choice formats used by other certifications, this performance-based exam requires deep knowledge of the tasks it covers under intense time pressure. If you want to pass the CKS exam on the first go, author Benjamin Muschko shares his personal experience to help you learn the objectives, abilities, and tips and tricks you need to pass on the first attempt.

• Identify, mitigate, and/or minimize threats to cloud native applications and Kubernetes clusters
• Learn the ins and outs of Kubernetes's security features, and external tools for security detection and mitigation purposes
• Demonstrate competency to perform the responsibilities of a Kubernetes administrator or application developer with a security viewpoint
• Solve real-world Kubernetes problems in a hands-on, command-line environment
• Effectively navigate and solve questions during the CKS exam

軟體和IT基礎架構中的漏洞對組織構成了重大威脅。為了應對這個問題，Cloud Native Computing Foundation（CNCF）開發了Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist（CKS）認證，以驗證管理員在保護Kubernetes集群和其中的雲原生軟體方面的能力。這本實用書籍將引導您全面準備認證考試，涵蓋了所有相關主題。

與其他認證所使用的典型多選題不同，這個基於表現的考試要求對所涵蓋的任務有深入的了解，並在極限時間壓力下完成。如果您想在第一次嘗試中通過CKS考試，作者Benjamin Muschko將分享他的個人經驗，幫助您學習考試的目標、能力以及通過考試所需的技巧和訣竅。

本書將幫助您：
- 辨識、減輕和/或最小化對雲原生應用和Kubernetes集群的威脅
- 瞭解Kubernetes的安全功能以及用於安全檢測和減輕的外部工具
- 展示以安全視角執行Kubernetes管理員或應用開發人員職責的能力
- 在實際的命令行環境中解決真實的Kubernetes問題
- 在CKS考試中有效地導航和解答問題
