We are excited to announce that deploying Kubewarden in air gap environments has been simplified and documented! For that, you will need a private OCI registry accessible by your Kubernetes cluster. If you’re unfamiliar with Kubewarden, it’s a policy engine for Kubernetes. Its mission is to simplify the adoption of policy-as-code. Kubewarden policies are WebAssembly modules; therefore they can be stored inside an OCI-compliant registry as OCI artifacts.

Rancher, the open source container management platform, uses Fleet to enable its continuous deployment features. Fleet brings GitOps functionality to Rancher. Fleet in Rancher 2.7.0 can fetch Helm charts from OCI registries. Using OCI registries to store Helm charts is an increasingly popular storage method. It allows storing your charts in a registry alongside your container images. This unifies the storage options for charts and reduces friction. Using a chart in an OCI registry is fairly simple.

I was hesitant to write a piece on Henry Ford because of his unsavory political views that have tarnished his reputation. However, if we focus on Ford only as a businessman and innovator we can draw some compelling parallels to today’s industrial and business landscape. Thus, for this article we will postulate a modified Henry Ford, a virtual character who possesses only Henry Ford’s positive qualities.

As Kubernetes becomes increasingly integrated across IT environments, organizations are growing more ambitious in how they use the technology, building established use cases like infrastructure management and microservices into new and ambitious fields like machine learning and edge computing. Is Kubernetes ready for this new era? What obstacles still lie in the way that risk slowing growth? Our Kubernetes State of Play for 2022 sought to answer these questions and more.

Tech companies are gradually adopting the modern CI/CD flow that facilitates rapid releases and fast collaboration between team members. Traditional staging environments are being replaced with ephemeral environments because the shared staging environments do not support the culture of fast-release cycles mentioned earlier. As the traditional staging or testing environments are shared, one developer’s feature can cause bugs, making the whole environment unusable.
