Enterprises often require explicit approvals before critical actions can proceed especially when provisioning infrastructure or making configuration changes.

There are cases where developers may prefer to use tools on their laptops such as Lens Desktop to visualize resources and interact with Kubernetes clusters. The use of a desktop based app such as Lens can be a better user experience for developers over the Kubectl CLI.
Some of the key questions that platform teams have to think about very early on in their K8s journey are: How many clusters should I have? What is the right number for my organization?
The recently released version of Kubernetes v1. 25 removed the ‘PodSecurityPolicy (PSP)’ capability.
During this webinar, Ashish Kar, VP of Product Management at Aarali Networks, and Naveen Chakrapani, Director of Product Management at Rafay Systems, covered securing K8s environments with Zero Trust principles. You can access the recording of the webinar here .
In a previous blog post , we described how platform teams can leverage Rafay’s Cluster Templates capability to enable a self-service model where application teams can provision clusters on demand. And now, platform teams can configure the necessary restrictions on resource values as part of Cluster Templates to achieve compliance and standardization.
As customers scale up their Kubernetes (K8s) environments, it becomes critical to create a process that ensures only applications that are vetted and approved are deployed to clusters. Without that, it is impossible for customers to standardize clusters, implement best practices and achieve compliance.
In a previous blog post , we described how OPA Gatekeeper can be leveraged to enforce policies and strengthen governance in Kubernetes environments. We also covered the challenges customers face when implementing OPA Gatekeeper at scale across many clusters.
As customers scale up their Kubernetes (K8s) environments by adding more clusters and applications, it becomes critical to solve for a consistent, repeatable process to enforce policies and strengthen governance without sacrificing development agility. The OPA Gatekeeper project was conceptualized to provide the necessary tooling to help address this problem.
