Ask any cloud software team using Kubernetes (and most do); this powerful container orchestration technology is transformative, yet often truly challenging. There’s no question that Kubernetes has become the de-facto infrastructure for nearly any organization these days seeking to achieve business agility, developer autonomy and an internal structure that supports both the scale and simplicity required to maintain a full CI/CD and DevOps approach.
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.
This article was originally published on HackMD and is reposted here with permission. Presently organizations are unable to monitor millions of embedded Linux devices in real-time. With so many different architectures and device types, aggregating telemetry and metrics and viewing that data in a centralized analysis tool is problematic. Onboarding embedded Linux devices into a telemetry service so that metrics can be easily observed is a significant challenge.
You’re probably bored with talking about Covid – we certainly are. But something that we still find interesting is that in the modern workplace, how people now interact with one another, how they work together and the communication tools that they use play a critical role in boosting their overall productivity.

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.
Today, Grafana Labs announced a strategic partnership with Isovalent, the creators of Cilium, to make it easy for platform and application teams to gain deep insights into the connectivity, security, and performance of the applications running on Kubernetes by leveraging the Grafana open source observability stack.
