Pioneering Secure by Default Open Source Kubernetes Solutions for Government

The Changing Security Requirements Landscape

In the wake of watershed cybersecurity events like the SolarWinds breach and the Log4J vulnerability, federal agencies face urgent demands to secure their software supply chains. Along with emerging Congressional action and forthcoming CISA regulations, the Biden-Harris Administration’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (14028)1 is a direct response to these crises, imposing rigorous new standards for software security. The reality is clear: securing software supply chains is no longer optional; it’s a national imperative.

Airgapping made easy with RKE2 and Rancher

In this repo, we're going to cover the creation of a RKE2 cluster into Harvester using an airgapped process (aka Bootstrap!). We'll follow that up by installing Rancher on top of RKE2. We're going to do all of this using Terraform. Terraform allows us to declaratively define our environment in code and then create that environment in a straight-forward (and sustainable) way.

Using the new Rancher Backup Operator to protect your cluster

It goes without saying that backing up Kubernetes Components is an essential part of any Kubernetes Administrator, especially in production environments. While it has always been possible to write a home-grown solution, we here at Rancher want to make it as easy as possible to protect your Rancher-based clusters. Not only does backing up Rancher components protect you in the event of an failed upgrade or other disasters, but it’s also a great way to migrate Rancher to a completely different cluster.

Implementing GitOps on Kubernetes Using AWS, K3s, Rancher, Vault, and ArgoCD

As Kubernetes continues to establish itself as the industry standard for container orchestration, finding effective ways to use a declarative model for your applications and tools is critical to success. In this write-up, I’m going to walk through setting up a K3s Kubernetes cluster in AWS, then implement secure GitOps using ArgoCD and Vault. Check out the source for the infrastructure and the Kubernetes umbrella application here.
