Intro to Kubernetes and Rancher Online Training - December 13, 2018

This free online training is aimed at users new to Kubernetes, or those interested in using Rancher to easily deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters. These sessions demo Rancher, an open-source platform for deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters across the cloud or on-prem.

Dynamically Provisioning Local Storage in Kubernetes

At LogDNA, we’re all about speed. We need to ingest, parse, index, and archive several terabytes of data per second. To reach these speeds, we need to find and implement innovative solutions for optimizing all steps of our pipeline, especially when it comes to storing data.

How to Get Started with Rancher's New Multi-Tenant Prometheus Support and Alpha Release Process

Ankur Agarwal, Rancher's Head of Product Management, describes new features in Rancher 2.2. Learn how to monitor multiple Kubernetes clusters in this step-by-step tutorial and how our Alpha Release process works.

Now Available: IBM Cloud Monitoring with Sysdig.

Today at Kubecon we announced the availability of IBM Cloud Monitoring with Sysdig. Together, IBM and Sysdig have launched this new offering to provide a fully managed enterprise-grade monitoring service for cloud-native applications on IBM Cloud. If you build, ship, and run applications on IBM Cloud, you now have direct, integrated access to Sysdig Monitor.

Upgrading Your AWS Kubernetes Cluster By Replacing It

With the recent panic over the zero-day Kubernetes vulnerability CVE-2018-1002105, Kubernetes administrators are scrambling to ensure their Kubernetes clusters are upgraded to a version that is patched for the vulnerability. As of this writing, the minimum versions that have the patch are 1.10.11, 1.11.5, 1.12.3, and 1.13.0-rc.1.

Understanding the Impact of the Kubernetes Security Flaw and Why DevSecOps is the Answer

It finally happened. At the start of DockerCon Europe and a week before KubeCon was set to take place in the U.S., researchers discovered the first major vulnerability within Kubernetes, the popular cloud container orchestration system.

Infrastructure UI for Kubernetes and Docker using Elasticsearch and Kibana

The Elastic Stack comes with powerful data visualization capabilities. Filebeat and Metricbeat modules, as well as, Elastic APM ship with pre-built Kibana dashboards that serve as a great starting point for exploring logs, metrics, and APM data in Kibana. On top of that, the Infrastructure, Logs, and APM UIs enable common workflows for correlating the data coming from different operational contexts.

Introducing Sysdig Secure 2.2: Kubernetes auditing, compliance, and access control.

Over the past four years we’ve helped hundreds of organizations run reliable, secure, and compliant Kubernetes and Openshift clusters. Some of the key themes we’ve seen from organizations that have successfully grown their Kubernetes footprint are: they have immaculate labeling, understand how to leverage internal Kubernetes features to harden their platform, and understand what developers need access to and manage it with RBAC and namespaces.

Container security orchestration with Falco and Splunk Phantom

Container security orchestration allows to define within your security policy how you are going to respond to your different container security incidents. These responses can be automated in what is called security playbooks. This way, you can define and orchestrate multiple workflows involving different software both for sourcing and responding. This is how Falco and Splunk Phantom can be integrated together to do this.
