Driving the Need for Identity, Authentication, and Encryption in Containerized Environments

Explore the critical importance of identity, authentication, and encryption in a multi-service environment through this comprehensive tutorial. Delve into the misconception of container security and learn why every workload must be treated as untrusted. Discover the essential components for ensuring encrypted communication channels between services, verifying service identities to prevent malicious activities, and managing identity validity at scale using tools like Istio and Cert-manager. Gain insights into how SPIRE can assist with workload attestation. Learn to leverage TLS for encryption, identity validation, and workload attestation, and understand its integration with Istio and cert-manager to create a robust foundation for identity management in your applications.
