Configure Logstash 8 security pipelines with threat intelligence enrichment
Build a production Logstash 8 pipeline that ingests firewall, IDS and syslog data, enriches events with MISP, AlienVault OTX and AbuseIPDB threat intel, and ships hardened IOC-enriched events to Elasticsearch.
Configure Ansible Vault integration with HashiCorp Vault for secrets management
Learn how to combine Ansible Vault with HashiCorp Vault using the community.hashi_vault collection, AppRole authentication, and least-privilege policies for production-grade secrets management in playbooks.
Configure Kubernetes network monitoring with Hubble and Cilium for traffic visibility
Enable Hubble on Cilium to get real-time eBPF-based flow visibility, deploy Hubble UI and Relay, and integrate flow metrics with Prometheus and Grafana for full Kubernetes network observability.
Implement Istio multi-cluster canary deployments and traffic splitting
Build a primary-remote Istio multi-cluster mesh with shared trust domain, then run progressive canary rollouts using DestinationRule subsets, weighted VirtualServices and metrics-based promotion across clusters.
Configure Kubernetes secrets management with External Secrets Operator and HashiCorp Vault
Learn how to deploy External Secrets Operator on Kubernetes, integrate it with HashiCorp Vault using the Kubernetes auth method, and sync secrets via SecretStore and ClusterSecretStore resources with production-grade RBAC and monitoring.
Integrate Jaeger with Istio service mesh for distributed tracing
Learn how to integrate Jaeger with Istio service mesh to get end-to-end distributed tracing across Kubernetes microservices, including sidecar injection, trace sampling, and ingress gateway access to the Jaeger UI.
Configure Kubernetes RBAC with service accounts and cluster roles for secure access control
Learn to implement Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with service accounts, cluster roles, and role bindings for granular permissions and secure cluster access management.
Implement Kubernetes security scanning with Falco and OPA Gatekeeper for runtime protection
Set up comprehensive Kubernetes security with Falco for runtime threat detection and OPA Gatekeeper for admission control policy enforcement. This tutorial covers installation, configuration, and custom security policies.
Implement Kubernetes RBAC with service accounts and role-based access control
Configure Kubernetes role-based access control (RBAC) with service accounts, roles, and role bindings to enforce secure access policies and namespace isolation in your cluster.
Integrate ArgoCD with External Secrets Operator for secure Kubernetes secret management
Set up External Secrets Operator to sync secrets from HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secrets Manager into your ArgoCD GitOps workflow, enabling secure automated secret management across multiple environments without storing sensitive data in Git repositories.
Setup Jaeger sampling strategies for high-volume production tracing
Configure advanced Jaeger sampling strategies to efficiently capture traces in high-traffic production environments while controlling storage costs and maintaining observability.
