Description
This OpenStack Security course emphasizes the importance of IT security in the cloud to prevent attacks and data loss. Common threats include cryptomining, botnets, and ransomware, often resulting from unprotected services on public ports. To counter these threats, it's essential to implement secure access via VPN or SSHuttle, encryption (HTTPS) with domain name and certificate authority validation, and use a reverse proxy for additional security layers. Additionally, best practices include verifying Dockerfile and updating packages regularly, using trusted sources, changing default credentials, and seeking help from local admins when needed. By following these guidelines, project owners can ensure the security of their VMs and prevent potential threats.
Requirements: Have an understanding of the basics of OpenStack
