Mastering Telco Cloud Kubernetes Security
This advanced lab focuses on mastering Kubernetes security in TelcoCloud environments. Participants will gain practical skills in hardening clusters, securing CNF workloads, and enforcing pod- and network-level policies. The training also explores secrets management with Vault, runtime threat detection with Falco, and secure software supply chain practices. By the end of the lab, learners will be equipped to protect Kubernetes-based telecom infrastructures against modern security challenges.

About The Lab
Prerequisites
Audiences
The lab architecture provides a secure Kubernetes environment tailored for Telco workloads. It integrates policy enforcement with Pod Security Admission, secrets management with Vault, and secure software supply chain practices. Learners will also explore incident response workflows and observability with Prometheus and Loki, creating a hands-on platform to build and validate Kubernetes security strategies in telecom contexts.
Why this Lab ?
This lab is designed for telecom and cloud professionals who need to secure Kubernetes-based workloads in production TelcoCloud environments. With the growing complexity of CNFs and the critical nature of telecom infrastructure, strong security practices are no longer optional. This lab goes beyond the basics, offering hands-on experience with real-world tools and techniques to protect clusters, enforce policies, and respond to threats. It provides the knowledge and skills required to build a resilient and secure Kubernetes foundation for telecom operations.
‍
Lab Objectives
- Gain the ability to harden Kubernetes clusters by applying secure configurations, RBAC best practices, and Pod Security Admission.
- Develop stronger security for sensitive data through encryption at rest, secrets management with Vault, and secure workload identity.
- Build resilience against vulnerabilities by enforcing workload security contexts, validating container images, and applying admission policies.
- Acquire skills to secure the software supply chain using image scanning, signing, and verification to ensure trusted deployments.
- Enhance detection and incident response capabilities with observability stacks, audit trails, and actionable alerting for telecom workloads.
