An interactive, hands-on lab that teaches security best practices for Istio service mesh in Kubernetes environments. This scenario provides a real Kubernetes cluster where you can practice implementing security controls.
What You’ll Learn:#
- Mutual TLS (mTLS) - Implementing encrypted service-to-service communication
- Authorization Policies - Defining granular access control between services
- Network Security - Securing ingress and egress traffic in the mesh
- Zero Trust Principles - Applying least-privilege access in microservices
- Security Troubleshooting - Debugging common security misconfigurations
Lab Format:#
This is an interactive Killercoda scenario with a real Kubernetes cluster and Istio pre-installed. You’ll work through practical exercises in your browser with no local setup required.
Perfect for security engineers, platform engineers, and developers working with Kubernetes and service mesh technologies.
