KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2024

As traditional enterprises with stringent data protection requirements become cloud-native and migrate to Kubernetes on public clouds, they are wondering: “Is my data secure on this shared hardware? Can someone with a host access snoop on my data?” And especially, with the upcoming Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in Europe mandating data protection in use, it’s crucial for users to familiarize themselves with solutions like Confidential Containers (CoCo), a CNCF sandbox project. In this, first of its kind, hands-on workshop we’ll dive deep into using CoCo with k8s. We’ll explore real-world challenges, such as ensuring data confidentiality from platform owners (cloud providers), and show you how to overcome them. Through practical exercises, you’ll learn to set up CoCo and secure your containerized workloads, turning theory into practice. Attendees will discover streamlined practices, find robust protection mechanisms, and gain strategic insights into adopting CoCo.
