Today's applications are built using containers, and Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for running containerized workloads. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is the most automated, scalable, and fully managed Kubernetes platform run by the largest contributor to Kubernetes. Join this session to learn how GKE simplifies compute orchestration, provides cost-optimized autoscaling and reduces Day 2 operations, allowing you to focus on building and running your application workloads while Google Cloud manages your infrastructure.

Web Security Scanner identifies security vulnerabilities in your App Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Compute Engine web applications. This service crawls your application, following all links within the scope of your starting URLs, and attempts to exercise as many user inputs and event handlers as possible. It can automatically scan and detect four common vulnerabilities, including cross-site-scripting (XSS), flash injection, mixed content (HTTP in HTTPS), and outdated/insecure libraries. In this spotlight lab, you will use Web Security Scanner—one of Security Command Center's built-in services—to scan a Python Flask application for vulnerabilities.
