Advance your platform engineering expertise by architecting secure, scalable, and reusable cloud-native infrastructure. This course focuses on container security and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) governance across modern enterprise environments. You will begin by implementing container supply-chain strategies, including Azure Container Registry (ACR) image signing with Notary v2 and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation to help ensure that only verified code reaches production environments. You will also strengthen Kubernetes security using Pod Security Admission (PSA) and admission controllers to support compliance with CIS benchmark standards.
