Improving Kubernetes Security with Open Policy Agent (OPA)

Leave a Comment / Cloud Migration & Modernization, Kubernetes / By Agustin Romano

Many multinational organizations now run their applications on microservice architecture inside their cloud environments, and (many) administrators are responsible for defining multiple policies on those environments. These giant IT organizations have extensive infrastructure systems and their systems have their own policy modules or their own built-in authorization systems. This is an excellent solution to a …

Working with Persistent Volumes in Kubernetes

Leave a Comment / Cloud Migration & Modernization, Kubernetes / By JP La Torre

The main reason behind containerization is to allow microservices to run in a stateless way. A container will receive provisioned cloud resources, perform its tasks, and then be destroyed as soon as the process is over. There are no traces of that container or tied up cloud resources to worry about. This was what has …

Understanding Kubernetes Operators

Leave a Comment / Cloud Migration & Modernization, Kubernetes / By Agustin Romano

Automation is one of the fundamental components that makes Kubernetes so robust as a containerization engine. Even complex cloud infrastructure creation can be automated in order to simplify the process of managing cloud deployments. Despite the capability of leveraging so many resources and components to support an application, your cloud environment can still be fairly …

AWS EKS: Fine-Grained IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA)

Leave a Comment / AWS / By Gabriel Garrido

AWS is renowned for its robustness and flexibility, and one of the reasons for that is the fact that it has an extensive set of APIs and automation tools. AWS APIs are not just handy for managing cloud environments, but also for integrating the services within AWS and cloud-native applications running on top of it. …

Cloud-Native Application Bundles: Containerisation with Cloud-Native Applications

Leave a Comment / Cloud Technology / By JP La Torre

One of the few remaining challenges of deploying applications as microservices, running in containers, is complexity. A cloud environment may start as a simple ecosystem for microservices, but it doesn’t take much for that simplicity to be replaced by a complex web of containers. Modern container orchestration systems like Kubernetes don’t really help with simplicity …

AWS Fargate for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service

Leave a Comment / Application Modernization, Cloud Native Application Development / By Juan Ignacio Giro

On-demand cloud computing brings new ways to ensure scalability and efficiency. Rather than pre-allocating and managing certain server resources or having to go through the usual process of setting up a cloud cluster, apps and microservices can now rely on on-demand serverless computing blocks designed to be efficient and highly optimized. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service …

A Kubernetes Service Mesh Tool Comparison for 2020

Leave a Comment / Cloud Migration & Modernization, Kubernetes / By Damian Velazquez Cafaro

Service mesh is not a new concept, but its implementation for connecting microservices running on top of Kubernetes as a containerization platform makes the idea of having a service mesh more popular. Without a service mesh, each microservice needs to be configured to accept (and send) connections to other microservices it needs to communicate with. …

Leveraging Kubernetes Open Policy Agent

Leave a Comment / Cloud Migration & Modernization, Kubernetes / By Juan Ignacio Giro

One of the big challenges of going cloud-native and using containers is enforcing security and usage policies. This is an easy task to complete when the cloud infrastructure is relatively simple and has only a limited number of users. Once the cloud environment becomes complex or there are more end-users utilizing cloud resources, having clear …

CI/CD with Cloud-Native Applications

Leave a Comment / Continuous Integration / By JP La Torre

Continuous integration and continuous delivery, an approach now known as CI/CD, is more than just an approach for developing and delivering apps to customers. While CI/CD changes how apps are deployed—introducing smaller iterations and faster deployment in the process—the approach itself gets adopted differently. Especially for cloud-native applications. When you implement CI/CD for deploying cloud-native …

Top Secrets Management Tools Compared

Leave a Comment / Cloud Migration & Modernization, Kubernetes / By Agustin Romano

As apps become more complex in the way they use microservices, managing API keys and other secrets becomes more challenging as well. Microservices running in containers need to transfer secrets to allow them to communicate with each other. Each of those transfers as well as the secrets being exchanged needs to be secured properly for …
