ABSTRACT

If there’s one thing that everyone can agree on - it’s that the sheer scale and complexity of Kubernetes operations is growing constantly. What’s more, cloud native environments are becoming more and more expensive to operate and manage, as well as increasingly difficult to secure. On the bright side, there is a growing ecosystem of exceptional open source tools to help overcome this complexity, and provide greater situational awareness to what’s happening in your many and multiple Kubernetes clusters.
In this talk, we’ll take a deep dive on how to understand everything that is happening with stateful workloads in your Kubernetes clusters from health to security - including the management and monitoring of your clusters, troubleshooting and debugging, through full security scanning in multiple data perspectives- from configMaps, Secrets, hostPaths and many more security driven checks for proper role-based access control, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. We will demonstrate how you can have a 360º-view of your Kubernetes clusters in a single open source dashboard leveraging tools like Lens and Kubescape, and ultimately enforce policies with Open Policy Agent.
