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.

Long, detailed post mortem on a reddit failed k8s upgrade
When the Gatekeeper validatingwebhook came up, I was really worried that'd be the issue! Regardless I'd recommend anyone who cares about their cluster not collapsing to change the gatekeeper webhook to only intercept resources you care about: https://github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper/pull/1806
- Is OPA Gatekeeper the best solution for writing policies for k8s clusters?

Implement DevSecOps to Secure your CI/CD pipeline
Kyverno adds an extra layer of security where only the allowed type of manifest is deployed onto kubernetes, otherwise, it will reject or we can set validationFailureAction to audit which only logs the policy violation message for reporting. Kubewarden and Gatekeeper are alternative tools available to enforce policies on Kubernetes CRD.

Gatekeeper with Istio
Now, we have the hardest part resolved and let's turn our attention to the OPA Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper uses the OPA Constraint Framework to describe and enforce policy. Right now there are mainly 3 parts we should pay attention:
-
10 Essentials For Kubernetes Multi-Tenancy
They enable you to establish the policies and regulations that govern cluster deployments and applications. Using predefined policies, policy engines can dynamically modify or create configurations. Policy engines such as Gatekeeper and Kyverno can be leveraged to meet legal and compliance requirements while maintaining operational flexibility and development speed.

Kubernetes for Startups: Practical Considerations for Your App
Setup policy around what resource requirements can be requested by an app per environment. OPA and gatekeeper or kyverno can help. Setup access control for who can create or modify apps.
-
Kubernetes policy management: I - Introduction
OPA Gatekeeper is an open source, general purpose policy engine. OPA decouples policy decisions from other responsibilities of an application, like those commonly referred to as business logic. OPA works equally well making decisions for Kubernetes, Microservices, functional application authorization and more, thanks to its single unified policy language.

Scaling Kubernetes to multiple clusters and regions
The project is similar (in spirit) to kubefed.

Build a Federation of Multiple Kubernetes Clusters With Kubefed V2
What Is KubeFed? KubeFed (Kubernetes Cluster Federation) allows you to use a single Kubernetes cluster to coordinate multiple Kubernetes clusters. It can deploy multiple-cluster applications in different regions and design for disaster recovery. To learn more about KubeFed: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubefed

Evolution of code deployment tools at Mixpanel
There's active work on a standard called kubefed [0] that is being worked on.
> I want a scale-to-zero node-pool in every region, and one kube master api for the world.
Personally, I'd generalize this to: "I want to describe the reliability requirements and configuration for my software and have an automated system solve for where, how many, when, and how to route to it"
I want to have something where I can say "I need to have high availability, lowest latency, and X GB of RAM and Y cores" and have a system automatically schedule me wherever compute is cheapest while also intelligently routing traffic to my servers based on client origins.

Building a Kubernetes-based Solution in a Hybrid Environment by Using KubeMQ
Two of the more common approaches to deploying Kubernetes in hybrid environments are from cloud-to-cloud and cloud to on-prem. Whether this is from using a single control plane like Rancher, Platform9, or Gardener to create multiple clusters that are managed from a single location, or utilizing Kubernetes federation to create a cluster that spans different regions, this model has become a key feature offered by Kubernetes that has helped drive adoption.

Infrastructure Engineering — Deployment Strategies
This is made possible by the very nature of Kubernetes being a standard portable platform across cloud providers, ability to manage infrastructure as code, ability to setup networking between them whenever needed with the help of multi-cluster service meshes and also due to the ability to orchestrate the deployments using Kubefed and Crossplane.
-
Architecting your Cloud Native Infrastructure
And the interesting thing about networking in cloud is that it need not be just be limited to the cloud provider within your region but can span across multiple providers across multiple regions as needed and this is where projects like Kubefed, Crossplane definitely does help.
-
Infrastructure Engineering - Diving Deep
Projects like Kubefed and Crossplane are especially useful here since they help you to manage and orchestrate clusters and the requests you send across different cloud providers even if its going to be across regions.
