The goal of Mattermost Playbooks is to help teams consistently orchestrate any and all recurring workflows. A Playbook is a prescribed, repeatable process that a team has agreed on and formalized as a collaborative checklist saved on their Mattermost server. We at Mattermost use Playbooks for incident collaboration, customer onboarding, and product releases, along with many other complex processes.
Our goal has always been to automate and standardize the management of infrastructure and deployment of applications across user infrastructure. Today, we are excited to announce that we've launched support for Google Cloud (GCP), expanding our natively supported providers list and further expanding the choice, flexibility, and reach the platform offers to current and new users. With this new integration, users can deploy, manage, and scale their containerized workloads to GCP compute infrastructure.
More than anything else, Kubernetes troubleshooting relies on the ability to quickly contextualize the problem with what’s happening in the rest of the cluster. As complicated as this may sound, SPEED is really the name of the game. After all, more often than not, you will be conducting your investigation under the glow of fires burning bright in production. Getting relevant context quickly and seeing things holistically is exactly what Komodor was created for.
The lockc project provides mandatory access controls (MAC) for container workloads. Its goal is to improve the current state of container/host isolation. The lockc team believes that container engines and runtimes do not provide enough isolation from the host, which I describe later in the “Why do we need it?” Section. In this blog post, I’ll provide an introduction to lockc, discuss why you need it and show you how to try it out for yourself.

We are pleased to announce that we’ve recently launched new and improved alerting features which have been rolled out to users across all of Logit.io’s operating regions.

Rancher Desktop has been in development for just over a year with the open question: when do we have a 1.0.0 stable release? Along the way the scope has expanded, it was ported to run in more places and the development team has grown. All of this happened as we worked out if Rancher Desktop would be useful for people, what features people want to use and what are good ways to build it. We are finally ready to answer that 1.0.0 question.
