Now GA: Data-in-Transit Encryption in Calico v3.15
We’re excited to announce that the latest release of Calico includes encryption for data-in-transit. Calico is the open source networking and network security solution for containers, virtual machines, and host-based workloads, offering connectivity and security for container workloads. One of Calico’s best-known security features is its implementation of Kubernetes Network Policy, providing a way to secure container workloads by restricting traffic to and from trusted sources.
MicroK8s HA tech preview is now available
High availability (HA) for MicroK8s, the lightweight Kubernetes, is now available as a tech preview for Linux, Windows and macOS. The Kubernetes control plane can now be distributed across multiple nodes, bringing resiliency to the cluster while maintaining a low footprint using Dqlite, the distributed SQL engine as the Kubernetes datastore.
SLOs for AWS-based infrastructure
In our latest two-part series blog, Gigi Sayfan, author of “Mastering Kubernetes”, discusses managing complex infrastructure on AWS with an eye towards SLOs (service level objectives). Though there are many ways to discuss the management of infrastructure, in this two-part series, he covers SLOs for AWS, Observability on AWS, Quotas Limits, and Optimizing cost on AWS and in the second part, he uses the lens of Kubernetes to compare and contrast compute infrastructure on AWS with Kubernetes.
Install SAP Data Intelligence 3.0 on an RKE Cluster
Rancher and SAP have been working on a dedicated verification of SAP Data Intelligence 3 (SAP DI) on Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) cluster and Longhorn storage platform. This blog will guide you on how to properly install SAP DI on an RKE cluster.
SUSE Enters Into Definitive Agreement to Acquire Rancher Labs
I’m excited to announce that Rancher has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by SUSE. Rancher is the most widely used enterprise Kubernetes platform. SUSE is the largest independent open source software company and a leader in enterprise Linux. By combining Rancher and SUSE, we not only gain massive engineering resources to further strengthen our market-leading product, we are also able to preserve our unique 100% open source business model.
Introduction to multi cluster security using Calico Enterprise
Now that you’ve deployed your network policies to secure your Kubernetes cluster, how do you deploy your policies to other clusters? What do you do each time a new cluster is provisioned? And how do you deploy changes to your policies? Most organizations have a set of central security policies, and many are deploying Kubernetes across multiple clouds and on-prem. Scaling security becomes a formidable challenge. Calico Multi-Cluster Management is a feature in Calico Enterprise that Federates network security policies across multiple clusters – whether on-prem, hybrid, or multi-cloud.
Getting up and running with Calico on your on premises K8s Cluster
If you are deploying Kubernetes on-premises in your datacenter, you won’t want to miss this talk and demo. The first thing you’re thinking about might not be networking, but without some knowledge of the networking decisions you’ll need to make, and what the right option is given your environment, you’re likely to get stuck or make the wrong assumptions that may limit your ability to scale or integrate with the rest of the datacenter network.
Getting up and running with Calico Enterprise on your Rancher K8s Cluster
In this training and demo you’ll learn about the various networking options available to you in Rancher and considerations to take into account in order to select the best option for your environment. We will also showcase how to bootstrap and configure your Rancher cluster along with sample policy deployments.
How to Use the Datadog CLI on Kubernetes | Datadog Tips & Tricks
In this video, you’ll learn how to use the Datadog command line interface (CLI) on Kubernetes to perform key tasks, including checking the status of the agent and viewing custom checks. The Datadog Agent CLI allows you to check the status of the Agents running on the pods in your Kubernetes clusters. It also provides various helpful commands, including starting and stopping the agent, viewing configured custom checks, and sending flares to the Datadog support team to automatically open troubleshooting tickets.
