10 Kubernetes Alternatives and Why You Need Them
Learn about 10 solutions that can replace plain Kubernetes - container as a service (CaaS) like Fargate, managed Kubernetes services like GKE, and lightweight orchestrators like Nomad
Kubernetes ConfigMap: Creating, Viewing, Consuming & Managing
>In the world of traditional applications, admins could use environment variables or live input to manage application behavior at runtime. But those approaches don't work well in the realm of Kubernetes workloads – which usually run automatically, meaning they can't accept live input, and which are isolated from their host environment, making it challenging to manage settings via environment variables.
What Is a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP)? Components, Challenges and Benefits
A Cloud Native Application Protection Platform, or CNAPP, is a type of security solution that provides an integrated set of security and compliance capabilities for cloud native applications.
How Does Gartner Define CNAPP? 
According to Gartner, CNAPP is a security solution that provides consistent visibility and control over all cloud-native applications. It does this by integrating multiple security capabilities into a single platform, including Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP), infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning, cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM), runtime configuration scanning, and vulnerability scanning. 
What Is Cloud Native Security?
Cloud native security is an approach to securing applications that are built and deployed in a cloud native environment. It involves securing the software's entire lifecycle—from the initial development stages to final deployment and ongoing operations.

Shift-Left Security: What It Means, Why It Matters, and Best Practices

The earlier you discover security issues, the easier they are to fix and the less likely they are to cause major harm. That, in a nutshell, encompasses the idea behind shift-left security, a practice that can reduce application security risks while also decreasing the time and effort required to fix them. 

What Is Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)?
CSPM, or Cloud Security Posture Management, is a category of security solutions that offer continuous compliance monitoring, visibility into cloud infrastructure, and remediation of security risks. These tools are designed to manage the security posture of a cloud environment, helping organizations identify and address potential security gaps before they can be exploited.
Top 6 Cloud Vulnerabilities and Tools that Can Help
Organizations must revise their existing vulnerability management processes to account for cloud vulnerabilities, especially in public cloud environments.
