Password protection is the first line of defense to maintain the security of your network and its shared resources.

Pinecone is a vector database that helps users build and deploy generative AI applications at scale. Whether using its serverless architecture or a hosted model, Pinecone allows users to store, search, and retrieve the most meaningful information from their company data with each query, sending only the necessary context to Large Language Models (LLMs). By providing the ability to search and retrieve contextual data, Pinecone enables you to reduce LLM hallucinations and enhance data security.

Etcd plays a critical role in your Kubernetes setup: it stores the ever-changing state of your cluster and its objects, and the API server uses this data to manage cluster resources.
