Continued Kubernetes adoption, unified authorization, DevSecOps redefined, open source dominance and more key changes for the enterprise Amid a year of unprecedented global change, it may seem incautious at best to make confident predictions about the future of cloud-native business. However, there are strong indications of the trends that 2021 will hold — precisely because they are predicated on significant enterprise change.
Organizations are modernizing IT infrastructure, restructuring teams, and accelerating application delivery with containers and Kubernetes. As with any technology, organizations are at various places within their journey. However, according to Gartner, more than 75% of global organizations will be running containerized apps in production by 2022. Chances are your team is using containers for some applications.
On November 19, Veracode published new, official Docker images for use in continuous integration pipelines. The images, which provide access to Pipeline Scan, Policy (or Sandbox) scans, and the ability to access Veracode APIs via the Java API Wrapper or via HTTPie with the Veracode API Signing tool, make it easy to include the current version of Veracode tools in your automation workflow.
More and more organizations are adopting Kubernetes, but they’re encountering security challenges along the way. In the fall 2020 edition of its “State of Container and Kubernetes Security” report, for instance, StackRox found that nearly 91% of surveyed organizations had adopted Kubernetes, with a majority (75%) of participants revealing that they had deployed the container orchestration platform into their production environments.
Today AWS unveiled the Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) and Sysdig is excited to deliver support for the new Kubernetes distribution with our Secure DevOps solutions. Wherever you choose to run EKS-D to run container applications, Sysdig can also be used to detect and respond to runtime threats, continuously and validate compliance, as well as monitor and troubleshoot.
How companies like Netflix, Pinterest, Yelp, Chef, and Atlassian use OPA for ‘who-and what-can-do-what’ application policy. In the cloud-native space, microservice architectures and containers are reshaping the way that enterprises build and deploy applications. They function, in a word, differently than traditional monolithic applications.
Software containers are at the heart of cloud-native business transformation initiatives. Containers are a natural evolution from virtual machines to a more granular and portable application environment in clouds. They are designed to support rapid development and deployment of cloud-native applications in what is called a DevOps model, a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations.
In part 1 of this blog series on Kubernetes and cloud native application data protection, we addressed The need for Data Protection for Containerized Applications. In part 2 of this blog series, we go through.
