The Guide to Kubernetes Debugging

Apr 30, 2025 By Rox Williams In Honeycomb
Kubernetes is widely used for deploying, scaling, and managing systems and applications and is an industry standard for container orchestration. Google engineers originally developed Kubernetes as an open-source project. Its first release was in September 2014, and since then, it has matured into a graduate project maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). With the complexities of scale and distributed systems, debugging in Kubernetes environments can be difficult.

How to get started with Calico Observability features

Apr 15, 2025 By Reza Ramezanpour In Tigera
Kubernetes, by default, adopts a permissive networking model where all pods can freely communicate unless explicitly restricted using network policies. While this simplifies application deployment, it introduces significant security risks. Unrestricted network traffic allows workloads to interact with unauthorized destinations, increasing the potential for cyberattacks such as Remote Code Execution (RCE), DNS spoofing, and privilege escalation.
