Throughout my career there has always been a disconnect between the documentation and the practical implementation. The Kubernetes (k8s) ecosystem is no stranger to this problem. This guide is a simple approach to installing Kubernetes and some REALLY useful tools. We will walk through installing all the following.

In a major validation of Rancher Government Solutions (RGS) security posture, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has announced that it has published and validated the Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) for the Rancher Multi-cluster Manager version 2.6 (MCM) for Kubernetes
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. RKE2 is fantastic that it ships with Nginx Ingress. There are a few other options out there on the market for ingress. Another favorite is Traeifk. But for this cluster I wanted to use the built in pieces. Nginx it is!

Monitoring and gathering metrics on your systems is an essential part of the lifecycle of any machine, application, or cluster. It provides us with the insight needed to be more proactive and less reactive to what our systems are doing. Gathering and viewing numerical data, like CPU load or memory usage, is something that is done with ease and looks great in a graph, but what about the massive amounts of log data out there? Historically, this was not something that you could easily put into a graph and it’s not always easily correlated with other events.
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. Things that many IT and procurement departments started to take for granted with the adoption of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), like cost allocation, get a new meaning and new complexity with Kubernetes.
With the widespread adoption of Kubernetes throughout the DevOps space it is important to prioritize security using principles like defense in depth to safeguard your...
