The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
Protecting Critical Infrastructure in Kubernetes and Rancher
“As we expand, it’s critical for our team to have both a fast and automated rollout process for each customer environment. In the end, each of our user’s access experience must be identical. Rancher is one product that’s critical to that strategy.” – Jeff Klink, VP Engineering, Cloud and Security Specialist, Sera4 Security worries keep many of us awake at night – no matter our industry.
Custom Alerts Using Prometheus in Rancher
This article is a follow up to Custom Alerts Using Prometheus Queries. In this post, we will also demo installing Prometheus and configuring Alertmanager to send emails when alerts are fired, but in a much simpler way – using Rancher all the way through. We’ll see how easy it is to accomplish this without the dependencies used in previous article.
Kubernetes Master Class - 2020-04-20 - Detecting Anomalous Kubernetes Activity with Falco
Even when processes are in place for vulnerability scanning and implementing pod security and network policies, not every risk will be addressed. You still need mechanisms to confirm these security barriers are effective and provide a last line of defense when they fail. In order to keep up with threats at runtime, an open-source based approach can help you stay up to date. In this Kubernetes Master Class, you will learn how to manage security risk at runtime in your RKE environments using Falco, a CNCF project for runtime security. Falco efficiently leverages Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF), a secure mechanism, to capture system calls and gain deep visibility. By adding Kubernetes application context and Kubernetes API audit events, teams can understand exactly who did what.
Enabling More Effective Kubernetes Troubleshooting on Rancher
As a leading, open-source multi-cluster orchestration platform, Rancher lets operations teams deploy, manage and secure enterprise Kubernetes. Rancher also gives users a set of container network interface (CNI) options to choose from, including open source Project Calico.
Kubeflow: The Answer to AI and ML in Kubernetes?
Kubeflow v1.0 was released on March 2, 2020 Kubeflow and there was much rejoicing. The banner announcement, “Cloud-Native ML for Everyone,” while clearly hyperbole, is evidenced by the streamlined command-line interface (CLI), informative and intuitive dashboard and comprehensive cloud provider documentation. Compounded with a best-in-class product suite supporting each phase in the machine learning (ML) lifecycle, Kubeflow stands unrivaled in the arena of ML standardization.
April 2020 Online Meetup: Hands On with Rancher 2 4 -- Take Hybrid Cloud Kubernetes to the Edge
Kubernetes enables a common compute platform across any infrastructure and a consistent set of infrastructure capabilities including improved reliability, enhanced security and increased operational efficiencies. But as organizations adopt Kubernetes, clusters are often deployed with limited access to shared tooling and services, inconsistent security policies and no centralized cluster operations. As a Kubernetes Management Platform, Rancher addresses the challenges of enterprises running multi-cluster Kubernetes on-premises, in the cloud and at the edge.
Google Cloud Kubernetes: Deploy Your First Cluster on GKE
Google, the original developer of Kubernetes, also provides the veteran managed Kubernetes service, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). GKE is easy to set up and use, but can get complex for large deployments or when you need to support enterprise requirements like security and compliance. Read on to learn how to take your first steps with GKE, get important tips for daily operations and learn how to simplify enterprise deployments with Rancher.
Kubernetes on Azure: Deploy and Manage Your First Cluster in AKS
Most Kubernetes deployments live on the cloud. According to the CNCF, while 63 percent of companies use AWS for Kubernetes, 29 percent are deploying Kubernetes on Azure, and the number is rapidly growing. Microsoft Azure provides mature Kubernetes tools, primarily the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). In this post, we’ll show you how to run your first Kubernetes cluster on AKS, and how to manage enterprise Kubernetes deployments on AKS with Rancher.
Running Google Cloud Containers with Rancher
Rancher is the enterprise computing platform to run Kubernetes on-premises, in the cloud and at the edge. It’s an excellent platform to get started with containers or for those who are struggling to scale up their Kubernetes operations in production. However, in a world increasingly dominated by public infrastructure providers like Google Cloud, it’s reasonable to ask how Rancher adds value to services like Google’s Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
