Container Immutability Lab
Implement container immutability patterns using read-only filesystems and security contexts.
45 minutes
kubernetes-security/cks

Lab Overview
This hands-on lab teaches you to enforce container immutability in Kubernetes.
You'll learn to:
- Understand immutability principles and their security benefits
- Configure read-only root filesystems for containers
- Use emptyDir volumes for temporary writable storage
- Implement security contexts to enforce immutability
- Test and validate immutable container configurations
Container immutability prevents attackers from modifying container filesystems, reducing the attack surface and preventing persistence. This is a key CKS exam topic.
