Zero Trust Architecture with Kubearmor on MS Azure
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is a security model that treats every request as a threat, verifying each access request based on an access policy. KubeArmor is a cloud-native runtime security enforcement system that leverages Linux security modules to enforce user-specified policies. To secure virtual machines, Microsoft recommends various steps such as configuring logical isolation, leveraging role-based access control, and securing boot components. Meanwhile, cybersecurity trends for 2022 include attack surface expansion, identity system defense, digital supply chain risk, and zero trust security.
Scaling Applications on Kubernetes with Monitoring, Backup, and Storage
Kubernetes, a platform for managing scalable, containerized applications, employs horizontal and vertical pod autoscaling for application scaling. It also uses tools like Prometheus for monitoring, Velero for backup and restore, and Persistent Volumes (PV) and Persistent Volume Claims (PVC) for storage. Utilizing these features, alongside proper monitoring and backup, can significantly enhance application performance, reliability, and resilience. Understanding Kubernetes’ concepts and components is crucial for effective usage and infrastructure management.
