AI-driven pipelines introduce a new class of infrastructure actor: an autonomous agent that reads context, generates manifests, and applies changes to live clusters. That power demands a matching security discipline. A misconfigured agent can leak credentials, apply unreviewed code, or grant itself elevated permissions - at machine speed, without a human in the loop.
This course walks through the four pillars of secure agent pipelines: managing secrets safely so they never appear in prompts or generated designs; verifying the provenance and integrity of AI-generated manifests and images before trust is granted; isolating agent workloads so a compromise cannot spread; and designing minimal, auditable permissions for every automated identity. Each lesson provides concrete patterns you can apply immediately when operating Meshery and Kanvas in production.
