Service Mesh for Supply Chain Policy Enforcement
Using Istio, Linkerd, and Cilium service mesh to enforce signed-artifact, SPIFFE identity, and provenance-aware policy in production clusters.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
Using Istio, Linkerd, and Cilium service mesh to enforce signed-artifact, SPIFFE identity, and provenance-aware policy in production clusters.
How a Docker image vulnerability scanner works layer by layer, what it can and cannot catch, the tools worth knowing, and how to wire scanning into your build without slowing it down.
Field notes on running Tetragon, Falco, and Cilium eBPF controls in production Kubernetes clusters, with observed overhead, policy traps, and kernel constraints.
Kata wraps each pod in a lightweight VM. That is a real security boundary. It is also one that comes with real costs and real caveats.
Policy design patterns for GCP Binary Authorization that hold up in production: attestor topology, exception handling, continuous validation, and the shapes that stop a deploy-time compromise without blocking legitimate rollouts.
ValidatingAdmissionPolicy GA, VolumeSource for OCI artifacts, and anonymous API cleanup: what 1.30 and 1.31 change for cluster security posture.
Service meshes promise layered policy. The promise is real, but the layers only help if you use them, and most deployments use one.
Both are CNCF graduated runtimes. Both run production clusters. Their security properties diverge in ways that matter for hardened environments.
Rancher is the distribution that runs when your Kubernetes is neither EKS nor OpenShift. Hardening it well is specific work.
