A comprehensive workflow bundle covering the entire cloud-native development lifecycle. It guides users through critical phases, including cloud infrastructure setup (AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform IaC), container orchestration with Kubernetes, robust CI/CD pipeline automation, observability implementation, security hardening, cost optimization, and disaster recovery planning. This ensures best practices across all stages of modern application deployment.

A comprehensive guide featuring best practices and patterns for building robust GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Covers multi-stage deployments, containerization (Docker), infrastructure as code (Terraform), security scanning, caching strategies, and advanced GitOps workflows for automated testing and deployment to Kubernetes.

An expert architect specializing in designing, implementing, and managing complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Expertise spans major public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP), private clouds (OpenStack, VMware), and container platforms (Kubernetes). Focus areas include cross-cloud networking, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, workload optimization, zero-trust security implementation, and FinOps cost management.

This skill detects unauthorized modifications (container drift) to running containers by monitoring for deviations from the original image state. It monitors binary execution drift, file system changes, and configuration deviations using tools like Falco and Kubernetes security contexts. Essential for SOC analysts and security teams investigating runtime compromises and enforcing immutable infrastructure.

This guide details methods and rules for detecting container escape attempts, a critical security vulnerability where an adversary breaks out of container isolation to access the host system or other containers. It covers monitoring syscalls, namespace manipulation (e.g., nsenter, unshare), accessing sensitive host paths (/proc), and detecting privileged operations using tools like Falco and eBPF.

This skill provides advanced runtime security rules using Falco, a CNCF-graduated tool. It monitors Linux syscalls to detect container escape attempts in real-time, identifying techniques such as mounting host filesystems, unauthorized namespace access (nsenter), and privileged container launches. It is crucial for SOC analysts and security teams enhancing cloud-native security coverage.

This tool provides a comprehensive security audit framework for Azure Storage accounts. It systematically detects critical misconfigurations, such as publicly accessible blob containers, weak encryption settings, overly permissive network access rules, and missing logging. Use it when performing compliance checks, responding to security incidents, or establishing storage security baselines in Azure environments.

This guide provides comprehensive steps to harden the Docker daemon configuration. It covers essential security controls like user namespace remapping, disabling inter-container communication (ICC), implementing TLS authentication, and adopting rootless mode. Implementing these measures significantly reduces the attack surface and mitigates risks associated with container breakouts and privilege escalation, aligning with CIS benchmarks.

This guide details the implementation of Microsoft Defender for Cloud, enabling comprehensive cloud security posture management (CSPM) and workload protection (CWPP). Learn how to secure VMs, containers, databases, and storage accounts, configure security recommendations, and establish automated remediation workflows to ensure continuous compliance and robust cloud defense.

Binary Authorization is a critical Google Cloud security control that enforces policy-based deployment rules. It mandates that only container images with valid cryptographic attestations (proof of successful vulnerability scanning, code reviews, etc.) can be deployed to GKE or Cloud Run. Use this guide to establish robust supply chain security and compliance controls for your cloud-native applications.

This guide details how to implement Kubernetes Pod Security Standards (PSS) using the Pod Security Admission (PSA) controller. PSS defines three mandatory security levels—Privileged, Baseline, and Restricted—for container workloads. It is essential for enhancing security posture, ensuring compliance, and migrating away from deprecated PodSecurityPolicy (PSP) controls by applying namespace labels and defining compliant pod specifications.

This guide details how to use Kubernetes NetworkPolicies to enforce granular, pod-level network segmentation. It covers establishing default deny rules, defining specific ingress and egress rules for services, and implementing zero-trust microsegmentation. Use this skill to build robust security architecture and prevent lateral movement within a container cluster.
