Kubernetes Pod Security Policies (PSPs) are a critical component of the Kubernetes security puzzle. Pod Security Policies are clusterwide resources that control security sensitive attributes of pod specification and are a mechanism to harden the security posture of your Kubernetes workloads. Kubernetes platform teams or cluster operators can leverage them to control pod creation and limit the capabilities available to specific users, groups or applications.
There are three popular methods for running Kubernetes on AWS: manually set up everything on EC2 instances, use Kops to manage your cluster, or use Amazon EKS to manage your cluster. Managing a Kubernetes cluster on AWS without any tooling is a complicated process that is not recommended for most administrators, so we will focus on using EKS or Kops. In this blog post, we compare cluster setup, management, and security features for both Kops and EKS to determine which solution you should use.
We are excited to announce the general availability of Calico Enterprise 2.7. With this release, Fortinet’s 400,000 customers can use FortiGate to enforce network security policies into and out of the Kubernetes cluster as well as traffic between pods within the cluster.
Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes (like yum, apt and home brew ) that allows easily package, configure, and deploy applications onto Kubernetes clusters. Helm charts are packages (like debs and rpms) It contains pre-configured kubernetes resources such as ConfigMaps, Deployments ,StatefulSet manifests, PersistentVolumes and editable settings for them.
In the first article in this series, we talked about making Kubernetes essential to your DevOps pipeline. We reviewed CI/CD and DevOps and why their relationship with Kubernetes is so powerful. In this article, I’m going to dive into another term in the application development and management mix: GitOps. We’ll cover what GitOps is, how it affects an organization and how it aligns with Kubernetes.
