In today’s cloud-driven landscape, containerized workloads are at the heart of modern applications, driving agility, scalability, and innovation. However, as these workloads become increasingly distributed across multi-cluster, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments, the challenge of securing them grows exponentially. Traditional network security measures designed for static network boundaries are ill-suited for the dynamic nature of containerized applications. The Challenge: Protecting Cloud-Native Workloads The rapid migration to the cloud has resulted in an explosion of cloud workloads, rangi ..read more

This release, we’re really excited about major improvements to Calico’s workload-centric WAF. We’ve made it much easier for users to configure and deploy the WAF in just a few clicks and we’ve also made it much easier to review and manage WAF alerts through our new Security Events feature. Why do we need a new WAF for microservices? Application security teams have deployed perimeter-based WAFs for decades to protect against common web attacks, with a focus on browser-based and client-side attacks. But with the rise of microservice architecture, there’s now a significant amount of HTTP traffic ..read more

Metrics are important for a microservices application running on Kubernetes because they provide visibility into the health and performance of the application. This visibility can be used to troubleshoot problems, optimize the application, and ensure that it is meeting its SLAs. Some of the challenges that metrics solve for microservices applications running on Kubernetes include: Visibility: Microservices applications are typically composed of many small, independent services. This can make it difficult to get a clear picture of the overall health and performance of the application. Metrics ..read more
