It’s right there on our community page—the statement that “Project Calico is first and foremost a community.” With that in mind, we wanted to make it easier for new contributors to get involved. It’s a win-win scenario—developers experience less frustration, they can get their work done, and have their contributions considered. Plus, the project can easily benefit from the contributions.

Kubernetes shouldn’t be reserved for production. Using local Kubernetes in development means you can build and test your service using the same technologies as your live deployments. Some organizations provide a shared Kubernetes cluster for development activities. Others offer on-demand virtual clusters that serve staging environments for significant changes.

Hi everyone, Albane here 👋 If you read my changelogs, you probably realized that I have been talking about a V3 in the making; almost a year after our V2, the wait is almost over because after gathering all of your precious feedback and nearly a quarter of work the Alpha testing is coming before the end of the month! 🤩 This V3 is undoubtedly the most significant product evolution of the last twelve months, but what’s so special about it?

The modernization of infrastructure and applications is driving the rapid growth of containers, and as companies scale the adoption of Kubernetes, it’s critical to incorporate security and compliance. The challenge? Compliance and security is a journey, not a state in time, and application security in Kubernetes has a large surface area. This challenge increases exponentially as you run more applications, onboard more developers, add more environments, add new pipelines, and more.

Kubernetes is an open source software that helps you manage and deploy your containerized applications. Kubernetes consists of two major component control planes (which decide where to run your pod) and a worker node (where your workload runs).
