Production Security and Compliance

You build a cloud-security skill first, then apply it to harden your Kubernetes agent: identity, network, workloads, secrets, supply chain, and compliance checks.

Goals

Goal	Target Focus
Apply the 4C's model	Cloud → Cluster → Container → Code
Enforce Kubernetes security	RBAC, NetworkPolicies, Pod Security Standards
Harden containers	Image scanning, non-root users, seccomp/apparmor
Protect secrets	External stores and sealed/encrypted patterns
Add compliance and auditing	Policy-as-code, admission controls
Capture security patterns	Reusable cloud-security skill

Lesson Progression

Stage	Focus
Build Your Cloud Security Skill	Skill-first foundation
Cloud/Cluster Security	RBAC, NetworkPolicies, PSS
Container Security	Scanning, users, seccomp/apparmor
Secrets and Supply-Chain	Management and hygiene
Compliance and Policy	Admission controls, audit
Capstone	Hardened Task API deployment

Each lesson ends with a reflection to test, find gaps, and improve.

Outcome and Method

You finish with a hardened, compliant Task API deployment and a reusable cloud-security skill. The chapter follows the skill-first pattern with a spec-driven capstone.
