Tigera: Web Application Firewall (WAF) in Kubernetes

With production workloads moving into the cloud, the adoption of the microservices architecture provides a solid and scalable communication method between workloads. Since most communication is via HTTP based APIs we can leverage existing web application firewalls technologies to provide HTTP protocol level detection. In this talk, we will show how you can leverage Calico Enterprise's integration with Fortinet's Fortiweb to provide WAF capabilities in a Kubernetes cluster.

Tigera: Do You Really Need a Service Mesh?

The challenges involved in deploying and managing microservices have led to the creation of the service mesh, a tool for adding observability, security, and traffic management capabilities to applications by inserting those features at the platform layer rather than the application layer. While a service mesh is intended to help Developers and SREs with a number of use cases related to service-to-service communication within the cluster, the service mesh also adds complexity and introduces an additional control plane for the Platform team to manage.

Tigera: How to address Kubernetes security challenges for managed Kubernetes services

As an increasing number of organizations are leveraging Managed Kubernetes Services such as EKS, AKS, or GKE for application development and production environment, DevOps, SREs would like to have security and observability built into their applications. Instead of managing a platform for Kubernetes security and observability, they would like to consume it too along with managed Kubernetes services. In this process, picking the right SaaS platform to address the Kubernetes security challenges is most important.
