Announcing the Tigera - Nutanix Partnership

Today we are pleased to announce our partnership with Nutanix, creators of the industry’s most popular hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) technology. HCI combines datacenter hardware using locally-attached storage resources with intelligent software to create flexible building blocks that replace legacy infrastructure consisting of separate servers, storage networks, and storage arrays.

Up and running with Calico Host Micro-segmentation on AWS

In this online training, we will explain how to install and configure Calico on AWS VMs to apply network policy to resources outside your K8s cluster. The talk will be primarily a walkthrough and demo and you will receive all manifests and instructions to do the demo on your own after the session.

How to scale your Rancher cluster by choosing the right networking options

When you first deploy your Rancher cluster, networking likely isn’t the first thing you think about and often the default settings are used. However, given that microservices require a network to function, it’s important to choose the right networking options before you run into scale issues and other roadblocks related to the network.

A Look at the New Calico eBPF Dataplane

Calico was designed from the ground up with a pluggable dataplane architecture. The Calico 3.13 release introduced an exciting new eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) dataplane targeted at those ready to adopt newer kernel versions and wanting to push the Linux kernel’s latest networking capabilities to the limit.

Now GA: Data-in-Transit Encryption in Calico v3.15

We’re excited to announce that the latest release of Calico includes encryption for data-in-transit. Calico is the open source networking and network security solution for containers, virtual machines, and host-based workloads, offering connectivity and security for container workloads. One of Calico’s best-known security features is its implementation of Kubernetes Network Policy, providing a way to secure container workloads by restricting traffic to and from trusted sources.

Introduction to multi cluster security using Calico Enterprise

Now that you’ve deployed your network policies to secure your Kubernetes cluster, how do you deploy your policies to other clusters? What do you do each time a new cluster is provisioned? And how do you deploy changes to your policies? Most organizations have a set of central security policies, and many are deploying Kubernetes across multiple clouds and on-prem. Scaling security becomes a formidable challenge. Calico Multi-Cluster Management is a feature in Calico Enterprise that Federates network security policies across multiple clusters – whether on-prem, hybrid, or multi-cloud.

Getting up and running with Calico on your on premises K8s Cluster

If you are deploying Kubernetes on-premises in your datacenter, you won’t want to miss this talk and demo. The first thing you’re thinking about might not be networking, but without some knowledge of the networking decisions you’ll need to make, and what the right option is given your environment, you’re likely to get stuck or make the wrong assumptions that may limit your ability to scale or integrate with the rest of the datacenter network.

Getting up and running with Calico Enterprise on your Rancher K8s Cluster

In this training and demo you’ll learn about the various networking options available to you in Rancher and considerations to take into account in order to select the best option for your environment. We will also showcase how to bootstrap and configure your Rancher cluster along with sample policy deployments.
