Managing Kubernetes Secrets with the External Secrets Operator
Kubernetes doesn’t yet have the capabilities to manage the lifecycle of secrets, so sometimes we need external systems to manage this sensitive information. Once the amount of secret information we need to manage increases, we may need additional tools to simplify and better manage the process. In this article, we’ll take a detailed look at one of these tools, the External Secrets Operator.

The Parity Problem: Ensuring Mobile Apps are Secure across Platforms
The problem of security parity is a big one, but it’s part of a larger problem: a general lack of security in mobile apps. By embracing automation for security implementation to the same or greater degree than it has been adopted for feature development, developers can ensure that every app they release for every platform will be protected from hackers, fraudsters, and cybercriminals.

The Role of DevOps in Cloud Security Management
Different areas of cloud security must be examined to strengthen security in the cloud versus security of the cloud. This includes identifying requirements, defining the architecture, analyzing controls, and identifying gaps. Security must be both proactive and reactive, so it needs to be considered in every step of development.

Designing Secure Tenant Isolation in Python for Serverless Apps
Software as a Service (SaaS) has become a very common way to deliver software today. While providing the benefits of easy access to users without the overhead of having to manage the operations themselves, this flips the paradigm and places the responsibility on software providers for maintaining ironclad SLAs, as well as all of the security and data privacy requirements.
