Borderline paranoia – a robot in the 50s has become something that we couldn’t recognize. Today, robots are more compact, and the computers inside are tinier than ever.  From the 2018 recognition of the hardware hack from China or the 2022 Starlink hack:: https://threatpost.com/starlink-hack/180389/ Aronetics features Jerod Brennen of Brennen Consulting to join our ongoing conversation that discovers issues with black boxes in your home or business and the complex implicit trust. 

Modern cloud-native environments using Kubernetes or OpenShift are driving innovation and speed for development teams but these technologies do not come with a framework or set of rules for implementing container security. Choices for security tooling are often down to what development teams and operations teams regard as best practices. In this session, the Jetstack team will cover why machine identity management is fundamental to delivering container security and discuss what organizations...

Enterprises are building and delivering containers and Kubernetes-based applications to their customers. With a distributed architecture, microservices are communicating with each other and 3rd party APIs to enable information exchange and present it to the customers. Such communication via the internet makes these applications vulnerable to external network-based attacks.  In this podcast, we will discuss how traditional runtime threat defense solutions fall short of preventing attacks, and...

threat detection at runtime is a crytical component of securing containers and cloud. how can you spot malicious activity in a dynamic orchestrated environment based on kubernetes? Today we will discuss runtime security practices using Red Hat opensource.

Event-sourcing has been around for a long time. When humans first created money thousands of years ago, accountants invented the earliest forms of event-sourcing when they realized it was not a good idea to throw away data while keeping track of other people's money. Fast forward to today, accountants continue to use event-sourcing. It may surprise some developers, but event-sourcing is a crucial component of the software development process in the form of git.  A more general form of...

Have you ever wondered how a geo-distributed app such as a Slack-like corporate messenger is architected and functions? How hundreds of microservices are deployed and communicate across distant geographies? How thousands of user messages and events flow in real-time across the countries? How are petabytes of data stored and accessed across continents? By taking a Slack-like corporate messenger as an example, we'll discuss the fundamental design principles for geo-distributed apps that are...

Making a data pipeline fit for machine learning use cases requires more than just additional data monitoring. Furthermore, bringing machine learning into production has traditionally required a lot of manual setup and configuration, even for toy ML pipelines. These manual methods are not reproducible, don’t autoscale, require significant technical expertise, and are error-prone. Among other things, this episode will go over MLOps, a set of practices aiming to deploy and maintain machine...

Zero Trust is a security strategy which is generating a lot of buzz. Supply chain security is a topic that is so critical that the US White House issued an executive order mandating it. Join Glen Kosaka, Head of Product Security for NeuVector, as he explains why these are hot topics and how they affect  the security controls for container and Kubernetes pipelines.

You can connect your Kubernetes cluster with GitLab to deploy, manage, and monitor your cloud-native solutions. The agent allows you to communicate with your cluster, enable a cache of Kubernetes objects, and much more.  Then add in Infrastructure as code (IaC) scanning to make sure what you are deploying into your cluster won’t compromise your system. This podcast will go over both of these concepts in order to get you deploying safer, more secure code even faster with GitLab.

As organisations grow their cloud initiatives, there is always a deadly undercurrent growing beneath the surface: waste. Multiple teams solving the same problems, over and over again, in different ways, using different technologies every time. This is remedied with a heavy dose of central control, which only leads to stifled innovation and excessive process. There is, however, a third option - platform thinking. Join Chris Cooney, Developer Advocate for Coralogix, as he discusses the power of...

Web 1,2, and 3 have privacy issues and problems with the perimeter that vanished. Aronetics features Jerod Brennen of Brennen Consulting to join our conversation that discover issues with black boxes in your home or business and the complex implicit trust. How could you secure devices on the edge on a unsecure place? Explore limits of ignorance on the edge.

It's common to hear "everything is so complicated nowadays" followed by a list of common tech industry scapegoats. Kubernetes, front end frameworks, microservices, "hip" technologies. It's a relatable reaction but beyond being cathartic it's a little off the mark. This feeling boils down to a real increase in cognitive load - and not cognitive load in terms just dealing with increasingly heavy frameworks.  To better understand the problem, it pays to talk more holistically about cognitive...

Infrastructure is one of the four pillars of IT Modernization, along with the Development Process, Application Architecture and Deployment methodology. Leveraging the promise of Cloud Native means using the best of each of these. However, most organizations have a spectrum of applications in their portfolio to manage from the traditional VM based to the fully Cloud Native, microservices based apps deployed in containers. The challenge for today’s CIO has is to ensure the Dev teams have access...

Moving to the cloud and edge comes with big rewards such as new use-cases and business opportunities. But how to efficiently build cloud and edge applications can be a confusing journey, mainly due to the lack of managed platforms that unifies Developer Experience (DX), ZeroOps Experience, and a Reactive Runtime. With Kalix, we set out to create a powerful PaaS that addresses these challenges for the cloud-to-edge continuum. An API PaaS that enables any developer with any language to build...

Clear the fog of the cyberwar and see through the unknown on your computer with Aronetics in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and learn a new level of relaxation and security. 

As companies continue to embrace containers and Kubernetes at a rapid pace there’s a growing need to address security. Security is one of the major concerns with container and Kubernetes adoption. Security issues continue to cause delays in deploying containerized applications into production. Therefore, security needs to be “baked in” to DevOps workflows. The only way to do this is to form a tighter relationship between Security and DevOps teams and learn how to harmonize their tooling and...
