Crossplane Observability & Traceability for Effective Multi-Cloud Management

Companies adopting cloud-native technologies increasingly use declarative definitions of cloud infrastructure. This shift offers excellent scalability, flexibility and agility opportunities, but also comes with challenges: What if resource creation takes longer than expected? What if resources fail to materialize at all? How to identify problems and potential performance optimizations? The answer lies in a familiar strategy: as in software development, we can address these challenges through instrumentation and leveraging observability data to uncover patterns, pinpoint root causes, and drive informed optimizations.

Pathways, Not Pitfalls: Building Platforms With Developers in Mind

When implemented with the end user in mind, developer platforms can take away a lot of cognitive load from developers and help streamline workflows, improve collaboration and accelerate innovation. By building meaningful abstractions and templates, we can remove a vast amount of complexity from developers. But how much complexity should be hidden? How can we ensure we provide the appropriate level of freedom? And how can we cope with every developer's individual needs?

Principle of Least Privilege: How to Secure Kubernetes Without Making Users Hate You

According to OWASP, insecure workload configuration is the top security problem in Kubernetes. As modern Kubernetes clusters evolve from mere container orchestrators to versatile control planes managing various resources, minimizing the attack surface of these clusters becomes even more critical.
