The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
We often hear from our customers that to adopt a container and Kubernetes security tool in any mid sized or large organization, separation of duties and least privilege access via RBAC is a must. Admin roles cannot be granted unnecessarily to all teams. If users or groups are routinely granted these elevated privileges, account compromises or mistakes can result in security and compliance violations.
We’re proud to announce the availability of the fresh, new “internal API” to our users. This API is only accessible from within a running instance on the platform.
Properly monitoring the health and performance of Docker containers is an essential skill for solo developers and large teams alike. As your infrastructure grows in complexity, it’s important to streamline every facet of the performance of your apps/services. Plus, it’s essential that the tools you use to make those performance decisions work across teams, and allow for complex scaling architectures.
All developers are not equal, some know how to deploy their applications, others don’t. But now it’s over! With Qovery, all developers can deploy their application in the Cloud in just a few seconds. Qovery integrates seamlessly with Github and requires no effort from the developer. We know how it can be painful for developers to deploy applications, manage staging/development/features environments, synchronize databases and all system stuff - even in the Cloud.
As developers, we need to get back to being diligent - and consistently diligent - about questions of security, provenance, reliability and availability when it comes to packages and dependencies.
Monitor Kubelet is key when running Kubernetes in production. Kubelet is a very important service inside Kubernetes’ control plane. It’s the component that cares that the containers described by pods are running in the nodes. Kubelet works in a declarative way by receiving PodSpecs and ensuring that the current state matches desired pods.
In this blog series, we’ll explore a few different ways that Rancher uses TLS certificates. TLS, or Transport Layer Security, is a cryptographic protocol used to secure network communication. It is the successor to the now-deprecated Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL. You can expect to walk away with an understanding of how TLS integrates into various Rancher components, and how you can prepare your environment to properly leverage TLS in Rancher.
We have made much of why we went with Rancher’s k3s to underpin Civo’s managed Kubernetes service in posts such as Andy’s explanation of k8s vs k3s, but I wanted to take a bit of a deeper dive into k3s and why in particular it is a great technological choice for a service such as ours.
