In this article, we will dive into Kubernetes network monitoring and metrics, examining these concepts in detail and exploring how metrics in an application can be transformed into tangible, human-readable reports. The article will also include a step-by-step tutorial on how to enable Calico’s integration with Prometheus, a free and open-source CNCF project created for monitoring the cloud.

In today’s fast paced and constantly evolving digital landscape, observability has become a critical component of effective software development. Companies are relying more on and using machine and telemetry data to fix customer problems, refine software and applications, and enhance security. However, while more data has empowered teams with more insights, the value derived from that data isn’t keeping pace with this growth. So how can these teams derive more value from telemetry data?

Black Kite reported that 53% of organizations were hit by ransomware attacks in 2021, and that number was expected to increase to 69% in 2022. Cyberattacks show no sign of slowing, so it is critical that organizations have necessary cybersecurity precautions in place. One of the best ways to protect your IT environment is with an endpoint security process.

Kubernetes turns 9 this year and with its maturity each year, it brings new challenges that drive seismic influence across the rapidly changing cloud native ecosystem. Each year we see new tools created and existing solutions optimized from new lightweight distributions, new features across Kubernetes management platforms, and container security solutions, all adding value to users but simultaneously contributing to the complexity are facing to run Kubernetes successfully.

Data Privacy Day is an annual event celebrated on January 28th to raise awareness about the importance of protecting personal information and data privacy. As technology continues to advance and more of our personal information is shared online, it’s crucial for businesses to take steps to safeguard their own data, as well as the data of the customers and users they serve.

Data Privacy Day is an international event observed on Jan. 28 in the United States, Canada, Nigeria, Israel, and 47 European countries. It’s a time to raise awareness about data protection best practices. At ServiceNow, one day is not enough to focus on data privacy. We prioritize protecting personally identifiable information (PII) for organizations and individuals every day of the year. One of the best ways to do that is through data anonymization.

2022 has been a year full of new releases, new events, and new projects for Open Source Calico. Let’s take a look at Project Calico’s 2022 highlights and see if you’ve missed any exciting news.

On October 3, 2022, the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 23-01, Improving Asset Visibility and Vulnerability Detection on Federal Networks.
