How certificates work in Puppet

This video gives you a basic introduction to certificates and explains how they’re used to secure Puppet communications. Certificates help to provide secure connections between different parts of your infrastructure as those parts communicate with each other. When you run the agent for the first time, it submits a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) to the primary server. Then the CSR is reviewed by the Puppet administrator and either accepted or denied.

KoolKits - Highly-opinionated, batteries-included Kubernetes debugging toolkits

You can read more about the motivation behind this project here. Those images are intended for use with the new kubectl debug feature, which spins up Ephemeral containers for interactive troubleshooting. A KoolKit will be pulled by kubectl debug, spun up as a container in your pod, and have the ability to access the same process namespace as your original container.
