##About Rootconf:

Rootconf is HasGeek’s annual conference -- and now a growing community -- around DevOps, systems engineering, DevSecOps, security and cloud. The annual Rootconf conference takes place in May each year, with the exception of 2019 when the conference will be held in June.

Besides the annual conference, we also run meetups, one-off public lectures, debates and open houses on DevOps, systems engineering, distributed systems, legacy infrastructure, and topics related to Rootconf.

This is the place to submit proposals for your work, and get them peer reviewed by practitioners from the community.

##Topics for submission:

We seek proposals -- for short and long talks, as well as workshops and tutorials -- on the following topics:

  1. Case studies of shift from batch processing to stream processing
  2. Real-life examples of service discovery
  3. Case studies on move from monolith to service-oriented architecture
  4. Micro-services
  5. Network security
  6. Monitoring, logging and alerting -- running small-scale and large-scale systems
  7. Cloud architecture -- implementations and lessons learned
  8. Optimizing infrastructure
  9. SRE
  10. Immutable infrastructure
  11. Aligning people and teams with infrastructure at scale

Securing your Kubernetes Cluster from potential Threats

Submitted Apr 30, 2019

Kubernetes is currently the most popular container orchestration engine of choice, but its security is debatable. There are some vulnerabilities that have already been discovered in Kubernetes and Docker. The question that arises is what are the potential risks of these vulnerabilities to the application/business, and how we can go about fixing these.

The talk will also cover what are some of the best security practices that should be followed while designing and implementing Kubernetes within an organisation.

Outline

The outline of the talk would be roughly as follows:

  1. How vulnerable is your Kubernetes cluster.
  2. Past known vulnerabilities in Kubernetes and their potential Risks.
  3. How to fix these known vulnerabilities.
  4. Security Best Practises to be followed while designing a Kubernetes cluster .

Requirements

Basic knowledge of Kubernetes,Container technologies is expected. This session will focus on real world security threats associated with Kubernetes and how we can follow some best practises to make our Kubernetes clusters more secure.
