Leveraging RKE2 with TLS Passthrough

What did I do?

As a new engineer at Rancher Federal (Suse Rancher Government Solutions) I wanted to setup Keycloak with TLS Passthrough on my shinny new RKE2 cluster. For the uninitiated TLS Passthrough is a way for the ingress or proxy to all TLS to passthrough. Meaning the pod itself will terminate TLS and not the ingress/proxy.

Historically, this was not something that you could easily put into a graph and it’s not always easily correlated with other events.

How to monitor Kubernetes costs for on-premise clusters

To the uninitiated, Kubernetes does a fairly simple thing: it provides the scaffolding to effortlessly run applications with very complex architectures. Rancher has built on top of this scaffolding, making it easy not only to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters but also applications. With Kubernetes, a lot of established paradigms of software development are evolving, oftentimes forcing many structural changes for the organizations.
