ITOps Times Open-Source Project of the Week: Kyverno
Kyverno is a policy engine designed specifically for Kubernetes and the name means “govern” in Greek. The management of policies in Kyverno is done through Kubernetes resources, eliminating the need for learning a new language to write policies. This approach enables the utilization of well-known tools like kubectl, git, and kustomize to handle policy management … continue reading
ITOps Times Open-Source Project of the Week: Volcano
Volcano is an open-source project used for running high-performance workloads on Kubernetes. Kubernetes does not natively provide batch scheduling, which is something required by many workloads, such as machine learning and deep learning, bioinformatics, and other big data applications. This is where Volcano comes in. According to Volcano, often those types of workloads run on … continue reading
ITOps Times Open-Source Project of the Week: Carina
Carina is a local storage solution for Kubernetes. It was accepted into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in December 2022 as a sandbox project, and as of the time of this writing it was still at the sandbox level. Features include disk management, device registration, PVC resizing, scheduling based on capacity, volume topology, PVC … continue reading
Sysdig adds detection and response to CNAPP
Sysdig introduced agentless cloud detection based on open-source Falco, extending cloud detection and response (CDR) beyond workload agents to cloud, GitHub, and Okta logs in its Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP). As organizations expand their cloud environments, they encounter sprawl consisting of hundreds of unregulated applications, services, and identities, which potentially present vulnerabilities. CNAPP can … continue reading
ITOps Times Open Source Project of the week: KEDA
