Kubernetes leverages various deployment objects to simplify the provisioning of resources and configuration of workloads running in containers. These objects include ReplicaSets, lSets, Sets, and Deployments. A pod is the smallest deployment unit in Kubernetes that usually represents one instance of the containerized application.

Kubescape is a Kubernetes open-source platform providing a multi-cloud K8s single pane of glass, including risk analysis, security compliance, RBAC visualizer, and image vulnerabilities scanning.

Recent research by Cyble showed that over 900,000 Kubernetes clusters were found exposed to the internet to potentially malicious scans. Some of them are susceptible to known vulnerabilities exploitations.

With Kubernetes adoption continuing to rise, we've seen multiple studies add to the growing body of research for enterprise K8s deployments this past year. Companies leveraging managed services and packaged platforms drive much of the continued growth in adoption. An annual study conducted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) found that 96% of organizations surveyed are either using or evaluating K8s currently.

Ingress aims to simplify the way you create access to your Kubernetes services by leveraging traffic routing rules that are defined during the creation of the Ingress resource. This ultimately allows you to expose HTTP and HTTPS from outside the Kubernetes cluster so you no longer need to expose each service separately—something that can be expensive and tedious as an application scales, resulting in an increase in services.

Kubernetes Admission Controller is an advanced plugin for gating and governing the configuration changes and workload deployment in a cluster. Admission Controller enables DevOps and Security personnel to enforce deployment requirements and restrictions in the cluster upon every workload start and any configuration change. Think of an Admission Controller as an Advanced Resource manager with a shield.

Kubernetes pods are the basic building blocks of Kubernetes. It's managing one or more tightly coupled application containers allowing them to share resources and networks. Pods are hosted on nodes, which are either physical or virtual machines. When defining a Pod we need to think not only about how much CPU or memory we want to assign to it but also about what would be the interaction between it and the underlying infrastructure.

Integrating Kubescape with 3rd party projects and DevOps tools is a strategic mission for us to enable you to extract more value out of Kubescape throughout the CI/CD pipeline, SDLC, and monitoring phases. We are happy to announce two significant integrations of Kubescape to leading Kubernetes open-source CI/CD tools.

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?

ARMO's Kubescape is an open, transparent, single pane of glass for Kubernetes security, used by tens of thousands Tel Aviv - April 27, 2022 - ARMO, creators of the fast-growing Kubernetes open-source security project Kubescape, today announced $30M in funding for the first end-to-end open source Kubernetes security platform.
