Congratulations! You've reached the end of Configuring Azure VM and Container Security. Let's review what you've learned. We kicked things off with host security. Throughout the early part of this course, you learned about configuring endpoint security within VMs and how to harden VMs in Azure. You also learned how to configure system updates for VMs in Azure as well as how to configure baselines. As we moved through this course, you learned about container security. You learned how to configure networks, authentication and container isolation. You also learned how to configure AKS security and how to configure container registry. Rounding things out, you learned about vulnerability management tools and strategies.
So now that you've been through this course, you should have a full understanding of how to configure Azure VM and container security. We'd love to get your feedback on this course, so please give it a rating. As always, thanks for watching and happy learning.
