CNCF Webinar: Critical DevSecOps considerations for Multicloud Kubernetes

The distributed nature of Kubernetes has turned both legacy infrastructure and traditional cybersecurity approaches on their heads. Organizations building cloud-native environments in their own data centers grapple with operationalizing and scaling Kubernetes clusters, and then ensuring system-wide security from the infrastructure layer all the way up to each container. In this webinar, you’ll hear from two cloud-native experts in infrastructure and security who will offer up valuable insights on.

CNCF Webinar: Getting started with container runtime security using Falco

Protect Kubernetes? As Kubernetes matures, security is becoming an important concern for both developers and operators. In this talk, Loris Degioanni (CTO and Founder @Sysdig) will give an overview of cloud native security, discuss its different aspects, with particular focus on runtime, and explain what inspired the development of Falco, the CNCF container security project. Through demonstration, he will educate the CNCF community on the ways Falco is being used for real-world workloads. Lastly, he will share the latest on Falco’s adoption, maturation within CNCF and what’s on the horizon.

DevOps 101: Introduction To Containers

Containers have become integral to every phase in the lifecycle of application development. Production grade orchestration tools such as Kubernetes have been built to manage them and container platforms like Docker are becoming commonplace in both testing and development. Web tutorials on how to build and manage simple Docker images abound! But what are containers exactly and why have they become so essential to the DevOps ecosystem?

Kubernetes Security

Containers and Kubernetes have revolutionized the way many teams deploy applications. But with the many benefits that these technologies provide come new challenges. Key among those challenges is security. By adding more layers and complexity to application environments, containers and Kubernetes create new opportunities for attackers and new security threats for Kubernetes admins to address.

Secure Networking for Openshift

The Kubernetes network model defines a flat network in which pod connectivity is unimpeded, with no restrictions on what traffic is allowed to or from each pod. To make a cluster production ready you need to make this networking secure. Network Policy is the primary tool for doing this and is essential to understand before considering moving a cluster to production.

Gain Better Visibility into Kubernetes Cost Allocation

Adopting Kubernetes and service-based architecture can bring many benefits to organizations – teams move faster and applications scale more easily. However, visibility into cloud costs is made more complicated with this transition. This is because applications and their resource needs are often dynamic, and teams share core resources without transparent prices attached to workloads.

Kubernetes Q3-2020: Threats, Exploits and TTPs

Kubernetes has become the world’s most popular container orchestration system and is taking the enterprise ecosystem by storm. At this disruptive moment it’s useful to look back and review the security threats that have evolved in this dynamic landscape. Identifying these threats and exploits and being a proactive learner may save you a lot of time and effort…as well as help you retain your reputation in the long run.

Elastic Stack Monitoring with Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes

Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) is the official operator for provisioning Elastic Stack deployments in Kubernetes. It orchestrates not only day-one provisioning, but also has the processes and best practices for day-two management and maintenance baked in. If you want to run your own Elastic Stack deployment on Kubernetes, then look no further than ECK!
