Live Hacking Cloud Architectures

Witness a thrilling 45-minute live demonstration of cloud architecture hacking and defense at Spring I/O 2023 in Barcelona. Observe as one speaker attacks and another defends a typical Kubernetes-based cloud architecture with Spring applications, configured to mimic real-world customer setups. Gain insights into the sophisticated nature of modern cloud architectures, including container orchestrators, database services, event meshes, networking components, and virtual machines. Learn about the critical importance of observability in diverse technological environments and discover various attack vectors along with mitigation strategies. Experience the use of cutting-edge technologies such as Kubernetes, eBPF, Cillium, Falco, and more. Join the blue team in defending and securing the architecture using modern open-source tools as the attacker attempts to scan web applications, initiate lateral movement, and exfiltrate data. Access the presentation slides for additional information and become better equipped to perceive and respond to potential attacks on your own cloud-based application landscapes.
