Reduce Security Cost by Shifting Left

With the emergence of “Shift Left” as common practice for development, we’re seeing many opportunities to reduce costs around our development practices, but what about security? Prisma Cloud is supporting “Shift Left” by making their scanning capabilities available to Developers and CI Tooling to run scans against microservice projects. As a bonus, the Prisma Cloud product suite scanning capabilities fit perfectly within Codefresh.

Securing Financial Transactions with Rancher

“With Rancher and Kubernetes, we’ve started moving to a microservices architecture. What this means is our teams don’t have to know Kubernetes inside out, just the projects they’re working on. Rancher simplifies Kubernetes for technicians, which results in greater agility and innovation.” Tertius Wessels, Senior Vice President of Engineering, Entersekt We’ve all heard about high-profile security hacks and have no doubt been the recipient of phishing emails.

Why do Kubernetes pods stay in pending state?

Kubernetes refers to an open-source platform managing containerized service. This portable system simplifies automation and configuration. You can link an app in a Kubernetes cluster and connect it to IBM Cloud Kubernetes service through the VPN. In this article, we will focus on why your kubernetes pod stays in pending state.

Startup: get the Heroku experience on your AWS account

Heroku meets the needs of individual developers who want to deploy their applications seamlessly. The only requirement is to use a git repository and link your git repository to your Heroku account. However, for startups, Heroku has limitations. Those arguments make most of the startups moving away from Heroku to a more flexible place like AWS - which has 31% market share in Q2 2020.

How we went from kops to EKS in production

Amazon’s EKS service (Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes) allows you to create a Kubernetes control plane in your AWS account without having to configure Kubernetes master nodes, etcd, or the api servers. In this blog post we will cover the motivation for using EKS, the preparation required to create an EKS cluster, how to configure EKS in Terraform, and how to set up kube2iam with EKS.

Microsoft Azure & JFrog: Accelerating Deployment With Virtual Kubelet And Artifactory

Virtual Kubelet simplifies the management of your Kubernetes cluster by rapidly spinning up pods behind an abstraction that takes care of scaling up and down your cluster. JFrog Artifactory is a universal binary repository that serves as a highly scalable container registry with advanced security scanning of container images. By combining Virtual Kubelet on Azure Container Instances (ACI) for fast orchestration and Artifactory to reliably serve container images, you get a highly scalable and secure platform for application deployment.
