The Kubewarden development team is happy to announce the release of the Kubewarden 1.3 stack. In addition to the usual amount of small fixes, this release focused on the following themes. If you’re not familiar with Kubewarden, it is a policy engine for Kubernetes. Its mission is to simplify the adoption of policy-as-code.
The Harvester team is pleased to announce the next release of our open source hyperconverged infrastructure product. For those unfamiliar with how Harvester works, I invite you to check out this blog from our 1.0 launch that explains it further. This next version of Harvester adds several new and important features to help our users get more value out of Harvester. It reflects the efforts of many people, both at SUSE and in the open source community, who have contributed to the product thus far.
We are proud to introduce SUSE Edge 2.0, which will empower customers to accelerate and scale edge infrastructures and transform edge operations.
We are thrilled to announce you can now scan your environment variables for secrets with the new env-variable-secrets-scanner-policy in Kubewarden! This policy rejects a Pod or workload resources such as Deployments, ReplicaSets, DaemonSets , ReplicationControllers, Jobs, CronJobs etc. if a secret is found in the environment variable within a container, init container or ephemeral container. Secrets that are leaked in plain text or base64 encoded variables are detected.
Organizations around the globe recognize the importance of digital transformation to respond to the demands of the modern world. Organizations can advance their business by adapting technology, processes and tools. By doing so, they can increase flexibility, efficiency, security and improve customer experiences to boost success and gain competitive advantage. However, digital transformation is not always easy.
Nowadays, the software development paradigm is based on containerizing applications to deploy on pods to let Kubernetes manage it. Containerized applications can then allow Kubernetes to manage its deployment, replication, high availability, metrics and other capabilities so that the application can focus on doing what it was designed to do. This technology is used for projects and by customers all over the globe.
A recent global survey demonstrates the importance of open source tools and technologies to IT professionals and their organizations. In Foundry’s MarketPulse Survey for SUSE, 2022, more than 600 IT professionals from enterprises around the world shared their experience and opinions on cloud native technology and open source. The results? Sixty-three percent of those surveyed said it was highly important for their organizations to choose open source tools and technologies.
A new version of Rancher Desktop with a troubleshooting diagnostics feature and several other improvements has just been released!
Continuous Delivery (CD) frameworks for Kubernetes, like the one created by Rancher with Fleet, are quite robust and easy to implement. Still, there are some rough edges you should pay attention to. Jobs deployment is one of those scenarios where things may not be straightforward, so you may need to stop and think about the best way to process them. We’ll explain here the challenges you may face and will give some tips about how to overcome them.
Epinio is a Kubernetes-powered application development engine. Adding Epinio to your cluster creates your own platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution in which you can deploy apps without setting up infrastructure yourself. Epinio abstracts away the complexity of Kubernetes so you can get back to writing code. Apps are launched by pushing their source directly to the platform, eliminating complex CD pipelines and Kubernetes YAML files.
