After auditing the company’s requirements, Swoom created a four-day training that weighed in customer’s priorities and enabled them to act accordingly. With a strong focus on hands-on practice, the program was based on the methodology field-tested on Global 2000 companies. Helping the in-house engineers to work out a defense strategy, the training dived into image registry scanning, various API authentication methods, and governance with policy management. To further improve cluster security, our engineers introduced the attendees to the CIS benchmarking, which serves as a global standard for safeguarding a Kubernetes deployment. Swoom engineers explained how to load balance resources using the tooling available in Amazon EKS to achieve scalability. Our team also demonstrated how to autoscale the deployment with the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. Instructors at Swoom shared best practices for configuring health checks, facilitating issue detection, and enabling disaster recovery. The trainees gained expertise around logging and monitoring to track failures and perform timely debugging. Finally, the attendees examined how to automate, manage, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Concourse, and Spinnaker to decrease the deployment time to minutes.
