Service Mesh: Two Big Words But Do You Need It?

Companies going through digital transformation initiatives need their IT organizations to support an increased business tempo. While DevOps practices have helped IT increase their pace to keep up with market dynamics, security teams still need to follow suit. InfoSec practitioners must modernize their practices to realize efficiencies in some of their most burdensome processes, like patching, credential management, and compliance. By embracing a ‘secure by default’ posture security teams can position themselves as enabling innovation rather than hindering it. Join Pivotal’s Justin Smith and guest speaker, Fernando Montenegro from 451 Research, in a conversation about how security can enable innovation while maintaining best security practices. They will examine best practices and cultural shifts that are required to be secure by default, as well as the role processes and platforms play in this transition.

The adoption of microservices add a new layer of complexity to an already complex application environment. When application issues arise, it becomes difficult to pinpoint the source and, too often, you find yourself in lengthy war rooms or assigning experts to triage every issue. As a result, brand loyalty, customer satisfaction and innovation are negatively impacted. The old approach to monitoring application performance just isn’t working. A new approach is needed. In this session we will discuss four areas that you should consider which will change the way you think about monitoring microservices

This document discusses runtime security on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). It begins by introducing AKS and how it simplifies Kubernetes deployment and management. It then discusses the security concerns with containers and the need for runtime security. Runtime security involves monitoring activity within containers to detect unwanted behaviors. The document outlines how Sysdig provides runtime security for AKS through its agents that collect syscall data and Kubernetes audit logs. It analyzes this data using policies to detect anomalies and threats across containers, hosts, and Kubernetes clusters. Sysdig also integrates with other tools like Falco and Anchore to provide breadth and depth of security.

The document discusses various stability anti-patterns in cloud-native applications and provides recommendations to address them. It describes anti-patterns like deploying applications in a specific order where one depends on another, not setting resource limits which can overload nodes, and improperly combining horizontal and vertical scaling. The document recommends designing for concurrency, implementing retries and circuit breakers, using blue-green or canary deployments, and ensuring resources are provisioned correctly in Kubernetes to avoid overloading and improve stability.

On-demand Link https://www.nginx.com/resources/webinars/kubernetes-nginx/ About the Webinar Many enterprises are adopting Kubernetes at breakneck speed as part of their DevOps‑centric digital transformation initiative. And yet the rise of DevOps in no way reduces the role of NetOps teams, who still have responsibility for the operation of the entire platform and its enterprise-wide application services. NetOps’s control of these global‑scale services is still vital to deploying stable and secure aps. In fact, where both NetOps and DevOps have an interest in an application service such as ADC or WAF, we often see duplication of that service. This is not an inefficiency, but rather reflects the differing needs and goals of the parties as they each make use of that service. In this webinar we explore the benefits of duplicating application services inside Kubernetes and look at some well‑established practices for deploying services such as WAF for applications that are running in Kubernetes, including trade‑offs between different options and the criteria that matter most to help you make the best decisions. Our presenters will also provide a demo of how to use NGINX Ingress Controller to provision NGINX App Protect in Red Hat OpenShift.

- DDoS attacks are increasing in complexity by combining different attack vectors, though the peak size of volumetric attacks decreased - More service providers are adopting SDN/NFV technologies, with the proportion doubling over the previous year, though interoperability and cost remain barriers - NFV aims to deploy network services through software on generic hardware rather than proprietary appliances, improving flexibility, but challenges include integration, orchestration, availability, and licensing

This document discusses using a service mesh to implement zero trust security in Kubernetes environments. It begins by explaining what problems a service mesh addresses in Kubernetes networking and then discusses how a service mesh can provide network policies, mutual TLS encryption between services, role-based access control, and other features to enforce zero trust principles. The document emphasizes that a service mesh allows fine-grained control of inter-service traffic and centralized management of microservices connections in a way that supports strong authentication of identities and authorization of access.

On-Demand Recording https://www.nginx.com/resources/webinars/control-kubernetes-ingress-egress-together-nginx/ About the Webinar Join our resident Kubernetes and modern apps experts in a discussion of the challenges of Kubernetes traffic management in today’s technology landscape. While Kubernetes Ingress gets most of the attention, how you handle egress traffic is just as important. Egress isn’t just about traffic leaving a cluster, either, but also concerns traffic among managed and unmanaged services within the cluster. We demo a solution using NGINX Service Mesh and NGINX Ingress Controller to control egress from the cluster and between NGINX Service Mesh and unmanaged services. Whether you’re new to modern application architectures, or looking to improve your current microservices deployment, this webinar is for you.
