Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Multi-tenancy in Kubernetes
Here is a library or rules for the Open Policy Agent.
- open-policy-agent/gatekeeper-library: The OPA Gatekeeper policy library.

Security scanning of k8s manifest files vs running cluster
https://github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper-library is the library of OPA Gatekeeper policies.
- OPA Rego is ridiculously confusing - best way to learn it?

Expose Open Policy Agent/Gatekeeper Constraint Violations for Kubernetes Applications with Prometheus and Grafana
by default and exposes metrics on path ```/metrics``` . It can run locally on your development box as long as you have a valid Kubernetes configuration in your home folder (i.e. if you can run kubectl and have the right permissions). When running on the cluster a ```incluster``` parameter is passed in so that it knows where to look up for the cluster credentials. Exporter program connects to Kubernetes API every 10 seconds to scrape data from Kubernetes API. We've used [this](https://medium.com/teamzerolabs/15-steps-to-write-an-application-prometheus-exporter-in-go-9746b4520e26) blog post as the base for the code. ## Demo Let's go ahead and prepare our components so that we have a Grafana dashboard to show us which constraints have been violated and how the number of violations evolve over time. ### 0) Required tools - [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads): A git cli is required to checkout the repo and - [Kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) and a working K8S cluster - [Ytt](https://carvel.dev/ytt/): This is a very powerful yaml templating tool, in our setup it's used for dynamically overlaying a key/value pair in all constraints. It's similar to Kustomize, it's more flexibel than Kustomize and heavily used in some [Tanzu](https://tanzu.vmware.com/tanzu) products. - [Kustomize](https://kustomize.io/): Gatekeeper-library relies on Kustomize, so we need it too. - [Helm](https://helm.sh/): We will install Prometheus and Grafana using helm - Optional: [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop): Docker is only optional as we already publish the required image on dockerhub. ### 1) Git submodule update Run ```git submodule update --init``` to download gatekeeper-library dependency. This command will download the [gatekeeper-library](https://github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper-library) dependency into folder ```gatekeeper-library/library``` . ### 2) Install OPA/Gatekeeper If your K8S cluster does not come with Gatekeeper preinstalled, you can use install it as explained [here](https://open-policy-agent.github.io/gatekeeper/website/docs/install/). If you are familiar with helm, the easiest way to install is as follows: ```bash helm repo add gatekeeper https://open-policy-agent.github.io/gatekeeper/charts helm install gatekeeper/gatekeeper --generate-name

Who is doing image scanning on an admission controller? (Open source)
Gatekeeper library has example policies for restricting image repositories: https://github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper-library/tree/master/library/general

Mental models for understanding Kubernetes Pod Security Policy PSP
You should check out the Gatekeeper project. There's plenty of templates available for use without having to write a single line of rego for most use cases (e.g https://github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper-library)

Top Terraform Tools to Know in 2024
‍Checkov is another great tool that examines your Terraform files (.tf), parsing the configurations and evaluating them against a comprehensive set of predefined policies. It scans Terraform-managed infrastructure and detects misconfigurations that could lead to security issues or non-compliance with best practices and regulations.

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
Kustomize: It provides a solution to customize the Kubernetes resource base configuration and differential configuration without template and DSL. It does not solve the constraint problem itself, but needs to cooperate with a large number of additional tools to check constraints, such as Kube-linter, Checkov and kubescape.

Top 10 terraform tools you should know about.
Checkov is a versatile static code analysis tool designed for infrastructure as code (IaC) and software composition analysis (SCA). It supports a wide range of technologies, including Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Docker, and others, to detect security and compliance issues through graph-based scanning. Checkov also performs SCA scans, identifying vulnerabilities in open source packages and images by checking for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). Additionally, it is integrated into Prisma Cloud Application Security, a platform that helps developers secure cloud resources and infrastructure-as-code files, enabling the identification, rectification, and prevention of misconfigurations throughout the development lifecycle.

Understanding Container Security
For your Dockerfiles, you can also scan them. There are lots of tools that can check your Dockerfiles. They will validate if Dockerfile is compliant with Docker best practices such as not using root user, making sure a health check exists, and not exposing the SSH port. You can use Snyk and Checkov.

How long have you guys actually had the title “platform engineer”? What other titles did you have before that, if any?
Once there is a CI pipeline for delivering infra changes you can add static code analysis tools (checkov) and even start testing changes (terratest)
