Kernel Hardening Tools Lab - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

Lab Overview

This hands-on lab teaches you to implement kernel-level security controls for Kubernetes workloads for CKS exam preparation.

You'll learn to:

  • Create and apply seccomp profiles to restrict syscalls
  • Configure AppArmor profiles for mandatory access control
  • Apply runtime security policies to pods
  • Validate kernel hardening configurations

Kernel hardening tools provide an additional layer of defense by restricting what containers can do at the operating system level, limiting the impact of container escapes.
