Rancher 2.4, the latest release of Rancher’s Kubernetes management platform, includes a new CIS security scanning feature. The Center for Internet Security publishes more than 100 benchmarks for Kubernetes, which are considered the default standard benchmark for defining security of Kubernetes clusters. With Rancher 2.4, CIS scanning is an integrated part of the Rancher UI itself for RKE clusters. If you create or import any RKE cluster via Rancher, CIS Scan will work flawlessly.
Earlier this year, we were invited to Threadup’s wonderful office space in Oakland to be one of the presenters at their quarterly Hackathon. Thredup, a fashion retail marketplace with over 35,000 brands, has been one of our key customers since 2013. We soon realized this wasn’t a normal Hackathon. This hackathon was dedicated to instrumentation and monitoring.
