Intro to Rio Online Training: The Application Deployment Engine for Kubernetes
Rio is an application deployment engine built on top of Kubernetes, Istio, Knative, and Prometheus. You can use it to build, test, deploy, scale, and version stateless apps on any standard Kubernetes cluster, which means that you can run your apps the way you want to without having to spend time wiring them together.
Kubernetes Master Class: How to harden your Kubernetes Clusters
As enterprises accelerate their adoption of containers and Kubernetes, they need to take necessary steps to protect such a critical part of their compute infrastructure. But not everyone has the same security needs, with developers and engineers often asking for different levels of granular control on specific configurations. This masterclass will help you navigate these conversations using Rancher’s current best practice security guidance. Topics to be covered will include:
Rancher vs. OpenShift - A Consultant's View
In any rapidly emerging market, consultants can be a great source for vendor-neutral insights, as they typically work with multiple technologies to help their customers make informed decisions. In that vein, Derya (Dorian) Sezen of kloia, a new-era consulting organization that provides services toward transition of legacy workloads to frontline technologies in Cloud, DevOps and Microservices, recently wrote a blog summarizing his experience with Rancher and Red Hat OpenShift.
January 2020 Online Meetup: Securing Your Production Grade Kubernetes Clusters Using Rancher
As DevOps teams deploy Kubernetes in production using Rancher, enterprises must focus on the runtime security and compliance requirements of their cloud-native platforms. Starting with Rancher 2.2, we published self-assessment and hardening guides to outline provisioning a cluster to comply with the CIS Kubernetes benchmark. Identifying gaps and pain points in the process, Rancher engineering added additional features to both Rancher and RKE to simplify the process.
Find Security Vulnerabilities in Kubernetes Clusters
Security is one of the most talked-about topics for Kubernetes users. Google “Kubernetes security” and you’ll find a huge number of articles, blogs and more. The reason is simple: you need to align your container and Kubernetes security with your organization’s existing security profile. Kubernetes has some strong security best practices for your cluster—authentication and authorization, encryption in secrets and objects in the etcd database—to name a few.
Intro to K3s Online Training: Lightweight Kubernetes
Ready to get some training on using K3s, the lightweight Kubernetes distribution? K3s is a lightweight implementation of Kubernetes that is easy to install and can run on x86 and ARM infrastructure with only 512 MB of RAM required to run it.
Rancher 2.3: Istio and Kiali
Rancher is a single point of control to manage all your kubernetes clusters anywhere. Rancher 2.3.x was released a few weeks back and it came with huge updates. Top Features included Istio and Windows nodes support. In this article, we will mainly discuss Istio support offered out of the box through the Rancher UI, see an example deployment, and visualize it via the Kiali dashboard.
