Now that conferences are finally coming back, what better way to emerge from uncertainty with a strategy marked for success? If you’re wondering which technology conferences and events to attend, how about starting with containers and Kubernetes? As the leading platform technology underlying containers, Kubernetes can help you build, deploy, and manage applications faster and at scale.

Kubernetes is one of the most popular platforms for managing and deploying applications built on microservices and containers. For the public sector, deploying pure upstream Kubernetes in offline, air-gapped environments can be a big challenge. Especially when you’re dealing with strict security controls and limited bandwidth, processes, and resources in place to ramp up quickly.

Cybersecurity continues to be a thorny problem for businesses and government agencies as breaches, disruptions, and data thefts continue to escalate. To help ensure that the growing number of government and private organizations implementing Kubernetes solutions have the highest possible levels of security, the National Security Agency (NSA) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have issued guidelines for hardening the security of Kubernetes implementations.
