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.
KUDO for Kubeflow: The Enterprise Machine Learning Platform
Machine learning is the power cable for your business. Without it, your data center is a museum of hard drives. While machine learning can supercharge data-driven businesses, it requires both expertise and a complex suite of technologies to make it work. D2iQ’s KUDO for Kubeflow, which is in technical preview, is the enterprise platform designed to take you from prototype to production in no time.
MicroK8s HA tech preview is now available
High availability (HA) for MicroK8s, the lightweight Kubernetes, is now available as a tech preview for Linux, Windows and macOS. The Kubernetes control plane can now be distributed across multiple nodes, bringing resiliency to the cluster while maintaining a low footprint using Dqlite, the distributed SQL engine as the Kubernetes datastore.
vSphere 7 with Kubernetes Network Service, Part 2: Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster
vSphere 7 with Kubernetes enables operations teams to deliver both infrastructure and application services as part of the core platform. The Network service provides automation of software-defined networking to both the Kubernetes clusters embedded in vSphere and Tanzu Kubernetes clusters deployed through the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for vSphere.
SLOs for AWS-based infrastructure
In our latest two-part series blog, Gigi Sayfan, author of “Mastering Kubernetes”, discusses managing complex infrastructure on AWS with an eye towards SLOs (service level objectives). Though there are many ways to discuss the management of infrastructure, in this two-part series, he covers SLOs for AWS, Observability on AWS, Quotas Limits, and Optimizing cost on AWS and in the second part, he uses the lens of Kubernetes to compare and contrast compute infrastructure on AWS with Kubernetes.
Install SAP Data Intelligence 3.0 on an RKE Cluster
Rancher and SAP have been working on a dedicated verification of SAP Data Intelligence 3 (SAP DI) on Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) cluster and Longhorn storage platform. This blog will guide you on how to properly install SAP DI on an RKE cluster.
SUSE Enters Into Definitive Agreement to Acquire Rancher Labs
I’m excited to announce that Rancher has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by SUSE. Rancher is the most widely used enterprise Kubernetes platform. SUSE is the largest independent open source software company and a leader in enterprise Linux. By combining Rancher and SUSE, we not only gain massive engineering resources to further strengthen our market-leading product, we are also able to preserve our unique 100% open source business model.
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.
