The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
Since 2014, Rancher Labs has been making it easier for IT professionals to handle containers. Until now, every release of their flagship product, Rancher, brought features that you wouldn’t want to be without. But the latest releases have really taken things up a few notches.
Kubernetes is a popular container orchestration system at the heart of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation projects. It automates the deployment, lifecycle, and operations of containers, containerized applications, and "pods," which are groups of one or more containers. The platform itself, along with each of these workloads, may generate event data. There are different kinds of data associated with these processes.
The Kinsing attack has recently been reported by security researchers, and it is well known for targeting misconfigured cloud native environments. It is also known for its comprehensive attack patterns, as well as defense evasion schemes. A misconfigured host or cluster could be exploited to run any container desired by the attacker. That would cause outages on your service or be used to perform lateral movement to other services, compromising your data.
Kubernetes and robotics make a great match. However, as we have seen, robots running ROS 2 can be tricky to set up on Kubernetes. This blog series has explored running ROS 2 on Kubernetes, set up a simple talker and listener, and distributed that demo across three machines. The configurations presented may not quite fit your implementation, and you may want to dig a bit deeper into network traffic when troubleshooting.
Benchmark tests measure a repeatable set of quantifiable results that serve as a point of reference against which products and services can be compared. Since 2018, Alexis Ducastel, a Kubernetes CKA/CKAD and the founder of InfraBuilder, has been running independent benchmark tests of Kubernetes network plugins (CNI) over a 10Gbit/s network. The latest benchmark in this periodic series of tests was published in September, and was based on CNI versions that were up-to-date as of August 2020.
In this blog, we introduce the new integration between Sysdig Secure and Red Hat® Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes that protects containers, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure with out-of-the-box policies based on the Falco open-source runtime security project. Organizations are quickly growing their Kubernetes footprint and need ways to achieve consistent management and security across clusters.
Today’s generation of makers, artists and creatives have reinforced the idea that great things can happen when you roll up your sleeves and try to learn something new and exciting. Kubernetes was like this only a couple of years ago: the mere act of installing the thing was a rewarding challenge. Kelsey Hightower’s Kubernetes the Hard Way became the Maker’s handbook for this artisan craft.
