Docker and Kubernetes in high security environments

This is brief summary of parts of my master’s thesis and the conclusions to draw from it. This medium-story focuses on containerized application isolation. The thesis also covers segmentation of cluster networks in Kubernetes which is not discussed in this story.

You can read my full thesis here; it’s available through open access:Container Orchestration in Security Demanding Environments at the Swedish Police Authority.

Reaching for the Stars with Ansible Operator

Reaching for the Stars with Ansible Operator

In this post I will show you how to use Roles published to Ansible Galaxy as an Operator to manage an application in Kubernetes. Reusing a Role in this way provides an example of how to create an Operator that simply installs an application with the flexibility to expand and customize the behavior organically as requirements dictate. I will leverage both the Ansible Operator and the k8s module to demonstrate how you can use Ansible to create Kubernetes native applications.

Server Name Indication (SNI) Support Now in Ambassador

We’ve discussed many interesting use cases for SNI support within the edge proxy/gateway with both open source and commercially supported users of Ambassador. In a nutshell (and with thanks to Wikipedia), SNI is an extension to the TLS protocol which allows a client to indicate which hostname it is attempting to connect to at the start of the TCP handshaking process. This allows the server to present multiple certificates on the same IP address and TCP port number, which in turn enables the serving of multiple secure websites or API services without requiring all those sites to use the same certificate.
