Is Kubernetes Finally Entering Its Application Phase?

Source:-containerjournal.com Kubernetes as Infrastructure The last five years have seen Kubernetes grow from a new open source community to a mainstay of conversations about modern enterprise IT. But it’s fair to say those conversations are often centered around Kubernetes as an infrastructure platform. We talk about networks and load balancing, storage and standards such as CSI, and provisioning and cloud provider integrations. These conversations are critical to building a platform that can run a wide variety of applications successfully at

Windows containers can run in Kubernetes–but there is a catch

Source:-techrepublic.com Yes, running Windows containers in Kubernetes can work. But it’s not as simple as it seems. The operating system container, which isolates just the essential parts of the operating system that are different, is quickly becoming the standard way for organizations to build and run applications. Because container images are so small, they can be stored, tracked and versioned like any code fragment in version control. Programmers can trade them over the network like they are copying files. Because

Best practices for threat modeling service mesh, microservices

Source:-searchsecurity.techtarget.com Security professionals have probably noticed that containers, such as Docker and Rkt, as well as container orchestration — for example, Kubernetes — are gaining traction in a big way. This is because, as developers have discovered the power of microservices, they are moving away from monolithic or tightly coupled component design architectures and moving instead toward more decoupled models — i.e., models where REST is used as a layer of abstraction. In microservices and service mesh environments, communications don’t follow static
