# Kubernetes and Cloud Native Security Associate (KCSA)

![alt text](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aysabzevar/kcsa/main/kcsa_badge_new-300x300.png)

Kubernetes and Cloud Native Security Associate (KCSA) is a new exam and certification by Linux Foundation. The schedule for the exam became available on March 1, 2024.
As the name implies, this exam focuses on security and hardening aspects of Kubernetes clusters and cloud native applications which are based on containers.
Since this exam is new and there are not many resources avaialable to study for it, I decided to create a list of resources which I found them useful:

## Overview of Cloud Native Security

[Cloud Native Security and Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/cloud-native-security/)

## Kubernetes Cluster Component Security

[Pod Security Standards](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/pod-security-standards/)

[Authentication in an Kubernetes cluster](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/)

[Authorization overview in an Kubernetes cluster](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authorization/)

## Kubernetes Security Fundamentals
