Securing Microservices in ASP.NET Core
This course will teach you how to secure your ASP.NET Core microservices using a variety of best practice patterns for authentication and authorization.
What you'll learn
Authentication and authorization are two very important aspects of a secure microservices architecture. In this course, Securing Microservices in ASP.NET Core, you'll learn how to secure your microservices using a variety of best practice techniques for authentication and authorization. You'll learn how to work with an identity microservice, how to apply security with and without an API gateway, and how to improve upon the default security approach to reach a best-of-class implementation. By the end of this course you'll be comfortable implementing best-practice security techniques in microservices architectures.
