One of the most used buzzwords in our industry is "single pane of glass". But what does it really mean? In most cases, it means a single dimension – either cross-infrastructure or cross-functionality or cross-organization. It usually never AND. Most likely, it's OR. So you will need to use multiple single-pane-of-glass products This led to an interesting discussion between us. Is it a single-pane for all the K8s clusters? Or single-pane for all the K8s security capabilities/functionalities?

Most organizations adopt cloud and containers to accelerate application development, but by adopting a secure DevOps approach and embedding security into the DevOps workflow, you can ensure security controls don’t slow down developers. Check out these key considerations to keep in mind as you put together your plan for securing clouds and containers.

Between February 27 and March 1, 2022, Docker Engine honeypots were observed to have been compromised in order to execute two different Docker images targeting Russian and Belarusian websites in a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. Both Docker images’ target lists overlap with domains reportedly shared by the Ukraine government-backed Ukraine IT Army (UIA). The UIA previously called its members to perform distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Russian targets.

CVE-2022-23648, reported by Google’s Project Zero in November 2021, is a Kubernetes runtime vulnerability found in Containerd, a popular Kubernetes runtime. It lies in Containerd’s CRI plugin that handles OCI image specs containing “Volumes.” The attacker can add Volume containing path traversal to the image and use it to copy arbitrary files from the host to container mounted path. The vulnerability was reported by Felix Wilhelm on Nov.

Beekeeper is known as one of the world’s top platforms for helping remote employees stay connected with their customers, other front-line workers, and the data they need to be successful. Through the company’s platform, employees can gain access to training, forms, and other work-based resources that require flawless access every time.

Containers provide a number of security features that are not simply available on a normal host. One of those is the ability to make the container’s root filesystem read-only. By making the file system unable to be altered, it prevents an attacker from writing their malware executable to disk. Most attacks rely on writing files in order to work, but sophisticated cases use fileless malware as part of their malicious behavior.

We are excited to announce the publication of our first State of Cloud-Native Security market report! The report compiles survey results from more than 300 security and IT professionals worldwide (all of whom have direct container responsibilities), and explores organizations’ needs and challenges when it comes to containers and cloud-native applications, specifically in the areas of security, observability, and compliance.

Hosting a CI/CD platform on Kubernetes is becoming more common among engineers. This approach saves time through automation, ensures consistent deployments, and makes it easier to monitor and manage microservices. However, building container images in Kubernetes clusters involves some technical hurdles that require workarounds. In this article, we’ll explore some ways to build Docker images in a Kubernetes cluster for CI/CD processes.

Every Kubernetes developer’s favorite time of year is just around the corner, Kubecon EU 2022! Whether you’re attending in person in beautiful Valencia, Spain, or watching the conference from your couch at home, here are a few reasons why — if you operate any Kubernetes infrastructure — you need Teleport.

Running a Kubernetes-based infrastructure is challenging and complex. Administrators often lament how complicated performance optimization and monitoring are, which can lead to problems in production. Additionally, even finely-tuned Kubernetes deployments can encounter sporadic issues. When Kubernetes starts behaving in strange ways, digging into logs can help you uncover breadcrumbs. These contextual hints can help lead you to possible solutions.
