Enable secure self-service access to Kubernetes clusters with Paralus

This talk dives into the challenges and design considerations that platform teams have to take into account to enable secure KubeAPI server access for their users. We’ll discuss how Paralus OSS can make it extremely simple for enterprises to implement a zero-trust model to achieve this.
Talk abstract

Enterprises looking to scale out their Kubernetes (k8s) operations need to manually manage access to each cluster using jump hosts or VPNs, and build custom tooling to audit and map all actions performed to a user’s identity. All of these are error-prone and increase the risk of breaches as the number of clusters grows. 

In this talk, we will outline: 

  • The typical challenges that enterprises face 
  • The criticality of integrating best practices across Secure Access, Kubernetes RBAC, and SSO to enable a Zero Trust model for k8s infrastructure access
  • Key design considerations and tradeoffs platform engineers can leverage to enable secure k8s access
  • How Paralus OSS can help platform teams enable a seamless kubectl experience, and centralize the config of k8s access controls for their developers across clusters running in public cloud environments and/or on-premise data centers

Abstracting Kubernetes and setting standards with internal developer portals
Developers find it difficult to manage Kubernetes, let alone understand it when troubleshooting or developing in a shift left world. Internal developer portals can be used to abstract and whitelist K8s data and set standards through scorecards.

How to deploy Kotlin applications to Kubernetes without Dockerfiles
In this talk Lothar shares how to create docker images with Kotlin and Gradle only. Lothar will showcase a ktor application as well as create and deploy a Docker image that contains the application to a Kubernetes cluster. The deployment happens on the command line only - every code change will trigger an instant deployment of a newly created Docker image to a Kubernetes cluster.
