Kubernetes

If you run workloads on Kubernetes, you already know how easy it is for small mistakes to slip into production. A missing resource limit here, a container running as root there, and suddenly your cluster has problems nobody planned for. This is exactly the kind of thing policy as code was built to fix, and Kyverno is one of the easiest tools to start with.

Kubernetes is a system that helps run and manage container based applications at a large scale. The diagram of the cluster shows several important parts working together. Even though the image may look complex, the design follows a clear and simple idea. A Kubernetes cluster is divided into the control plane and the worker nodes. The control plane makes decisions while the nodes run the actual applications. Once this relationship becomes clear, the entire architecture becomes easy to understand.

For many years, Bitnami’s application images were the easiest way for developers and operators to stand up popular software on Kubernetes. Those days are ending. Broadcom has now pulled back its long-running free Bitnami image program, replacing it with a narrower catalog aimed at paid users.
