Power Up Artifactory With Kustomize & Helm

Helm is the most popular templating tool for Kubernetes YAML files. Recently a new YAML overlay tool, Kustomize, has also started to become popular. In this webinar, we will discuss both these tools and when each one should be used. We will also discuss how we can combine Helm templating with Kustomize overlays to get the best of both worlds. This process enables customers to modify any Helm charts maintained by JFrog (or any other vendor), without breaking upstream compatibility. Customers can use this to continuously uptake new releases and automate their CI/CD processes.

Helm Chart Security Mitigation: Talking Back to CVEs in ChartCenter

If your Helm charts could talk, what would they say to potential users? Would they boast of the power in the Kubernetes apps they deploy? Would they warn of their dangers? Would they offer advice? In JFrog’s new ChartCenter, a community repository of publicly available Helm charts, that’s exactly what they’ll do. ChartCenter reveals to users what known risks lie within the container images deployed by every Helm chart.

CI/CD Detection Engineering: Splunk's Security Content, Part 1

It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to take a break, come up for air, and write a blog for some of the amazing work the Splunk Threat Research team has done. We have kept busy by shipping new detections under security-content (via Splunk ES Content Update and our API). Also, we have improved the Attack Range project to allow us to test detections described as test unit files.

Auditing and Reporting In Cloudsmith

What software assets does your organization use? What sounds like a simple question is anything but. If we include every package and dependency that ends up in the code we produce then for most development teams the truthful answer is ‘we don’t know’. As we’ve said enough times already, that really isn’t good enough anymore. And that’s one of the core motivations behind Cloudsmith.
