Overview/Description
Explore the concepts and tasks involved in securing microservices. This course teaches you the standard approach and principles that drive DevOps security, including application-level security of microservices. You will begin by learning how to enable secure service-to-service communication with microservices. Next you will examine the role of JSON Web Token (JWT) in a security implementation. Then learn about the techniques to validate JWT in a security implementation. As you progress further through the course, you will walk through the steps of TLS mutual authentication, and identify various types of certificate revocation as well as methods to apply short-lived certificates to enhance security. Finally, learn about edge security and how to secure microservices.
