In the state of Kubernetes cluster management, we have to pick and choose what we want the environment to look like. This is great for engineers who want flexibility, but that flexibility isn't always wanted or needed. Sometimes, engineers just want a cluster that works with the best practices out of the box. In this video, I break down one method with AKS Automatic. https://buff.ly/4dIGh0J #kubernetes #devops #platformengineering

We built mirrord because we believe the lowest-hanging fruit in accelerating cloud development is reducing feedback time. In his article "Why Fast Feedback Loops Matter When Working with Kubernetes," Piotr Zaniewski discusses this in-depth and demonstrates exactly how you can use mirrord to tighten your feedback loops. Give it a read here: https://lnkd.in/dNR2qG24 #mirrord #kubernetes ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

By integrating StreamX with #AEM and enabling the Server-Side Includes (SSI) module in #ApacheDispatcher, you get a component that will display content that changes in real time - without ever needing to clear the cache or republish anything. Go to our latest tutorial in the StreamX documentation to learn how to do just that: https://lnkd.in/d-nv-7-h

Chatgpt is becoming more of a great everyday tool in an IT person's toolbox. The more you understand it and understand how to extract the information you need out of it, its easy to skip pass the fluff or things that dont make sense. Needing to import hundreds of existing subnets into terraform using terraforms import block, i knew i did not want to import all of that per subnet and that i also needed to import these into modules. Essentially I have a code block that does a for_each through all of the subnets that come into the variable. import {  for_each = { for key, value in var.subnet : key => value if value.import }  id = each.value.import_resource_id  to = module.subnet.azurerm_subnet.main[each.key] } Only problem was i needed all of those subnets in a specific format in my tfvars file before i could do that. In comes chatgpt and a very much needed python script. As somebody who didnt have the need or time to spend a ton of time writing that script out, i was able to ask it a very small subset of questions piecing this script together found here in my github https://lnkd.in/gWSarEpH. I of course used powershell to export out the subnets in a specific format also that was needed. All in i was able to take a task that could have taken me days to complete by not having to manually import all those subnets in one by one and also generating a script using chatgpt vs having to search forums and ask around and get a bunch of methods for the same outcome. What are some IT use cases you have used chatgpt to improve daily task? #chatgpt #ai #automation #scripting

What Agent to Trust with Your K8s: Falco, Tetragon or KubeArmor? - Henrik Rexed, Dynatrace   🎯 Key Innovations:     - Benchmarking of major eBPF-based security agents for Kubernetes: Falco, Tetragon, KubeArmor, and Tracy.     - Focus on criteria such as features, performance impact, and privileges required by each agent.     - Practical insights to help make informed decisions on which agent fits best for different environments.    💡 Notable Features:     - Falco: Rule-based engine with customizable alerts and SDK for rule creation.     - Tetragon: Fully eBPF-native with enhanced device support and comprehensive event capture.     - KubeArmor: Allows fine-grained policy enforcement via annotations.     - Tracy: Utilizes signatures for event detection and provides default policies for common security events.    🛠️ Perfect for:     - Cloud Native Architects     - DevSecOps Teams     - Security Engineers     - Site Reliability Engineers     - Performance Engineers    ⚡️ Impact:     - Comprehensive security monitoring and event management in Kubernetes environments.     - Insightful performance benchmarking leading to informed decision-making on agent selection.     - Improved understanding of each agent's operational load (latency & resource usage) helps mitigate performance trade-offs.    🔍 Preview of the Talk:     In this engaging session, Henrik Rexed dives deep into the competitive landscape of Kubernetes security agents. Drawing from extensive benchmarks, he elucidates the distinct advantages and limitations of Falco, Tetragon, KubeArmor, and Tracy. Presenting from a practical stance, he guides attendees through the features, performance impacts, and operational requirements of each solution, equipping them with valuable insights for optimizing their cloud-native security postures.

KubeVirt is a way to run VMs on Kubernetes. No, not resources in Pods (like a container), but actual Virtual Machines. It creates a new resource via the KubeVirt CRDs that is a VM-based object, not a container. In this quick 5 minute article, you'll learn how to install it on any Kubernetes cluster. https://buff.ly/47vDRRm #kubernetes #devops #platformengineering

At the moment, several experts from Netic and Contain by Netic are attending Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) Denmark in Copenhagen to stay abreast of the latest developments in the #CloudNative and #Kubernetes landscape. Now, day one has come to an end. It has been a very inspiring first day, and we’re eager to share our insights, learnings, and thoughts. Therefore, we have asked Jonas, a consultant in our Cloud Native team, to highlight the three key takeaways from the first day of the conference: 1️⃣ Effective Kubernetes management requires specialised tools. As Kubernetes complexity increases, tools like KSail become essential for managing clusters efficiently through GitOps and provisioning local environments for faster development. 2️⃣ Password rotation remains a challenge despite technological advancements. Organisations need to implement robust and innovative solutions to regularly rotate credentials and maintain security. 3️⃣ Security vulnerabilities can be hidden in unexpected places. Attacks can originate from seemingly harmless sources, like shared images or insecure DNS configurations. Proactive identification and mitigation of these vulnerabilities are crucial. Remember, we’re always available for a discussion about optimisation opportunities in your company. Feel free to reach out: https://lnkd.in/gezaB3t2 - or meet us at the conference tomorrow. See you! #TriforkFamily #kcd #kcddenmark #kcddenmark2024 #cncf #CloudNativeNordics #contain

This is not a story of whether or not to use Kubernetes for production workloads that’s a whole separate conversation. As is the topic of how to build a comprehensive soup-to-nuts developer experience for shipping applications on Kubernetes. This is the story of how (not) to build development environments in the cloud.

🔒 The Lowdown on Locked Namespaces 🔒 ControlPlane’s Senior Consultant Marco De Benedictis gave a talk at KubeCon EU 2024, where he discussed how namespaces have grown from an optional feature to the cornerstone for several Kubernetes security controls and why you should consider them as a security boundary in your cluster 🔗 To read more about this, click the link below to read Marco’s blog piece 👇

Kubernetes: Past, Present, and Future. It’s been quite a while since k8s was originally published to the public and it’s changed a lot. From new APIs to new methods of running workloads on Kubernetes (like VMs), the landscape has increased rapidly. In this throwback episode of the Kubernetes Unpacked podcast, Kristina and I break down the k8s lifecycle. https://buff.ly/4aKO4JN #kubernetes #devops #platformengineering
