The lockc project provides mandatory access controls (MAC) for container workloads. Its goal is to improve the current state of container/host isolation. The lockc team believes that container engines and runtimes do not provide enough isolation from the host, which I describe later in the “Why do we need it?” Section. In this blog post, I’ll provide an introduction to lockc, discuss why you need it and show you how to try it out for yourself.

Mattermost v6.3 (Extended Support Release) is generally available today and includes the following new features (see changelog for more details).

Role-Based Access Control is an effective means to enable authentication and ensure only the authorized personnel have access to sensitive data within the platform. This blog explains how to implement RBAC in your organization's Squadcast account to achieve maximum security and confidentiality during Incident Management. We recently released this new functionality into Squadcast (called RBAC) that helps organizations fine-grain the access control provided to users within our platform.

We are pleased to announce that we’ve recently launched new and improved alerting features which have been rolled out to users across all of Logit.io’s operating regions. As part of these improvements, we have sought to improve platform usability and have now included a new menu from which users can readily configure a number of popular alert types straight from our pre-configured templates.

The 2021 year is finished, so it’s time to look at changes VictoriaMetrics has gained during the past year. The first release in 2021 was v1.52.0. The last release in 2021 was v1.71.0. More than 20 new releases of VictoriaMetrics were published during the 2021. The full changelog is available at this page. Let’s look at the most interesting changes.

Rancher Desktop has been in development for just over a year with the open question: when do we have a 1.0.0 stable release? Along the way the scope has expanded, it was ported to run in more places and the development team has grown. All of this happened as we worked out if Rancher Desktop would be useful for people, what features people want to use and what are good ways to build it. We are finally ready to answer that 1.0.0 question.

Here at LogicMonitor, we’re really big on extensibility and automation. We’re constantly adding to our catalog of monitoring coverage and ensuring that setup is as simple as possible. We also monitor almost any data you can expose on a network. People have done way more with LogicMonitor than we would have ever imagined, and I’m extremely excited to announce our next step in that commitment to extensibility and automation.

We have released another update for Enterprise Alert 9 (version 9.2) which enhances the flood protection mechanism. This will help you to setup scenarios where you do not want the flood protection to be active for every notification channel. Read all details in this article.

Troubleshooting container connectivity issues and performance hotspots in Kubernetes clusters can be a frustrating exercise in a dynamic environment where hundreds, possibly thousands of pods are continually being created and destroyed.

TLDR; Pleco is a service that automatically removes Cloud managed services and Kubernetes resources based on tags with TTL. When using cloud provider services, whether using UI or Terraform, you usually have to create many resources (users, VPCs, virtual machines, clusters, etc...) to host and expose an application to the outside world. When using Terraform, sometimes, the deployment will not go as planned.
