Kubernetes Security Essentials (LFS260) Course + Exam

Kubernetes Security Essentials (LFS260) is a hands-on course designed to teach DevOps professionals, platform engineers, and Kubernetes administrators how to secure clusters and workloads in cloud-native environments. The course begins with a comprehensive overview of cloud and container security, followed by guidance on preparing for and installing a secure Kubernetes cluster.

Learners gain practical experience hardening the kube-apiserver, configuring secure networking, managing workload security, and detecting and troubleshooting vulnerabilities. The course wraps up with a domain review to ensure readiness for real-world implementation or certification. LFS260 is ideal for teams focused on DevSecOps, zero-trust architecture, and compliance-driven Kubernetes operations.

This course provides the skills and knowledge on a broad range of best practices for securing container-based applications and Kubernetes platforms during build, deployment and runtime.

The course, along with real-world experience and study, will provide the skills and knowledge also tested by the Linux Foundation’s Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) exam.
