Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool that helps with the deployment and management of containers. Within Kubernetes, a container runs logically in a pod, which can be represented as one instance of a running service. Pods are ephemeral and not self-healing, which makes them fragile. They can go down when an interruption occurs on the server, during a brief network problem, or due to a minimal memory issue—and it can bring down your entire application with it.

I had always wanted to use sidecars with Istio or Splunk forwarder in production, but as a Kubernetes maintainer, I knew there was no reliable way of telling Kubernetes to ensure sidecar containers were kept running before and after the main application. In this post I will share the twists and turns of my adventure in addressing this long-standing Kubernetes challenge.

We are excited to announce the preview release of Kubescape 3.0, the next generation of the CNCF Kubernetes security posture management tool. Kubescape 3.0 will add: Most of these features have landed already, with some being finished over the next few weeks. Get ARMO Platform.

A brand new blog, of course! And cake. More on the cake later. Kubescape is an open-source Kubernetes security platform that helps you identify and fix security risks, misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in your Kubernetes clusters.

Prioritizing the security of your Kubernetes environment is of utmost importance. As organizations increasingly rely on containerization for their applications, the need for robust security measures is ever-growing. But security doesn’t work in isolation; it should seamlessly blend into your workflow. This is where the integration of ARMO Platform with collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams becomes invaluable.
