DevOps Playground: Hands-on with Aqua and Container Security

***PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PLAYGROUND HAS CHANGED FROM THE 30TH TO THE 23RD OF JANUARY***

With new technology comes new security challenges. Containerisation has become a mainstream part of our DevOps lifestyles but how to best secure our containers and cloud-native world is, at the best of times, not obvious.

This month we’ll join Aqua Security architect Steve Giguere as he takes us through a hands-on guide to container security with an entertaining why and how to use free and open-source offerings to get started with security.

What we’ll cover on the night:

- Build a simple image
- Scan our image for critical vulnerabilities
- Check our Kubernetes cluster for any security weaknesses
- Deploy our new image into our cluster
- Use eBPF to create run-time tracing for our running container

A few things to keep in mind:

- Prior experience with CLI tools (kubectl and docker) and VIM would be -helpful but not required
- As this is a hands-on session, please remember to bring your laptop
- Food and drinks will be provided
- Doors open for networking/refreshments 18:30
- Playground starts at 19:00

We also have a new Code of Conduct, which can be found here:
