We are proud to partner with Fortinet and join their Fabric-Ready Technology Alliance Partner program. With this partnership, Fortinet customers will be able to extend their network security architecture to their Kubernetes environments. Our partnership was driven from interest from Fortinet’s customers to protect their Kubernetes based infrastructure. Kubernetes adoption is growing like wildfire and nearly every enterprise on the planet is at some stage of their Kubernetes journey.

Containers - and Kubernetes - are now a key part of enterprise growth strategy across EMEA. We can see this not only as usage of Rancher grows, but also as the popularity of our local Lighthouse Events increases. In Northern EMEA particularly, the appetite for Kubernetes is accelerating rapidly. How are companies in this region capitalising on Kubernetes?

In this blog post, we are going to teach you how to aggregate all Kubernetes security events across your AWS container services. We’ll be using AWS FireLens to route Falco notifications, centralizing all the security events, such as AWS CloudWatch, in one service.

With the release of the WordPress REST API (version 4.7 circa 2016), WordPress developers started deploying the application as a headless CMS. As the WordPress community started to embrace this architecture, more and more developers are starting to use it in production. Now thanks to the growing number of plugins, WordPress as a headless CMS is starting to become the go-to deployment strategy.

Today I am very excited to announce that Rancher Labs’ Project Longhorn has been accepted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation as a sandbox project. Many Kubernetes users still find it challenging to run stateful workloads and manage persistent storage. Longhorn aims to help you manage stateful workloads in Kubernetes by providing a solution for persistent storage that you can easily deploy, use, and manage.

We’re excited today to release the Sysdig 2019 Container Usage Report. Continued momentum for Kubernetes and greater adoption of cloud-native architectures are changing not just usage patterns, but processes and organizational structures as well. One of the surprising insights this year is the 2X increase in the number of containers that live for less than five minutes. As services grow more dynamic, cloud teams are recognizing the need to integrate security into their DevOps processes.

In this blog post, you’ll learn how to setup image scanning for Azure Pipelines using Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform. Azure DevOps gives teams tools like version control, reporting, project management, automated builds, lab management, testing, and release management. Azure Pipelines automates the execution of CI/CD tasks, like building the container images when a commit is pushed to your git repository or performing vulnerability scanning on the container image.

Amazon RDS allows you to easily run databases in AWS without actually having to manage database servers. Since your databases are critical to the health of your application, properly monitoring RDS is a top priority for most teams. In this blog post, we will go over how Blue Matador monitors RDS automatically and without configuration.
