Enable GitOps for Kubernetes Security - Part 1

“How do I enable GitOps for my network policies?” That is a common question we hear from security teams. Getting started with Kubernetes is relatively simple, but moving production workloads to Kubernetes requires alignment from all stakeholders – developers, platform engineering, network engineering, security. Most security teams already have a high-level security blueprint for their data centers.

Service Monitoring and You

Monitoring is an art form. That sounds cheesy and lazy, but the right kind of monitoring is very context-dependent and rarely does the same practice work across multiple pieces of software or people. This gets even harder when you think about modern software architectures. Microservices? Container schedulers? Autoscaling groups? Serverless? ${New-technology-that-will-solve-all-of-my-problems-but-probably-creates-other-problems}?

Hybrid Cloud Monitoring: Defining a Strategy

When we are faced with the challenge of hybrid cloud monitoring, the golden dream of a single monitoring platform is reawakened in us. It would be ideal to have a tool that would allow us to see in a single screenshot what is happening throughout our platform, including those resources that we have decided to establish in the cloud, in other words, it should not discriminate between private and public networks.
