Cloud-native infrastructure has become the standard for deploying applications that are performant and readily available to a globally distributed user base. While this has enabled organizations to quickly adapt to the demands of modern app users, the rapid nature of this migration has also made cloud resources a primary target for security threats.

NOC, or network operation center, processes have been set in stone for decades. But it’s time for some of these processes to evolve. Digital transformation and the cloud era have led to the rise of DevOps, and with it, service ownership. Service ownership means that developers take responsibility for supporting the software they deliver at every stage of the life cycle. This brings development teams closer to their customers, the business, and the value they deliver.

We are thrilled to announce you can now scan your environment variables for secrets with the new env-variable-secrets-scanner-policy in Kubewarden! This policy rejects a Pod or workload resources such as Deployments, ReplicaSets, DaemonSets , ReplicationControllers, Jobs, CronJobs etc. if a secret is found in the environment variable within a container, init container or ephemeral container. Secrets that are leaked in plain text or base64 encoded variables are detected.

One of my favourite features in incident.io is Decision Flows. With it, you can create a series of questions which eventually lead to a decision based on what you’ve answered. You can pull up this flow during an incident and it’ll guide you through the questions. It’s like having an experienced on-caller calmly guide you through what to do when a crisis hits. This is complementary to incident.io’s Workflows feature.

Today, I am happy to see the public release of Helm-Dashboard, Komodor’s second open-source project, after ValidKube, and my first since joining the team as Head of Open Source. It’s a compelling challenge to try and solve the pain points of Helm users, but more than anything it’s a labor of love. So it is with love that we’re now sharing this project with the community, and I’m excited to imagine where it will go from here.
