Blue-green deployment with Amazon ECS
Blue-green deployment is a powerful technique for minimizing downtime and risks during software updates. This method involves maintaining two identical environments, referred to as "blue" and "green." Only one of these environments is live, serving all production traffic at any given time. It involves deploying a new version of your application in an environment that is not currently live, allowing for a seamless transition and minimal disruption to users.
How to choose the right vulnerability scanner for your security needs
Organizations find safeguarding their infrastructure and applications complex as the digital landscape becomes increasingly complicated. Unaddressed vulnerabilities can lead to devastating consequences, including data breaches, operational disruptions, and considerable financial as well as reputation damage. A robust vulnerability scanning program is essential to mitigate these risks and protect your organization's critical assets.
Guide to upgrade an EKS cluster from 1.28 to 1.29 using Terraform
Kubernetes 1.28 introduced several enhancements, including improved network policy performance, extended support for Windows workloads, and advancements in CSI volume management. However, as with all software, it's essential to stay updated for the latest features, bug fixes, and security patches. Kubernetes 1.29 builds upon its predecessor, offering further optimizations, new capabilities, and addressing potential vulnerabilities. The 1.29 release is called Mandala - a symbol of the universe in its perfection.

How to enhance Kubernetes security by migrating from Pod Security Policies to Pod Security Admission Controller
Pod Security Policies (PSPs) are a cluster-level resource in Kubernetes that controls security-sensitive aspects of pod specifications. For years, they've served as the cornerstone of security enforcement in Kubernetes clusters by ensuring only pods adhering to specific criteria like running as a non-root user, not running privileged containers, and more are deployed, minimizing vulnerability risks. However, after the release of Kubernetes 1.26, PSPs became deprecated, paving the way for a more robust and flexible approach: the Pod Security Admission Controller.
