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.

Tools for validating K8s features
Certain checks may be possible with goss and the kgoss wrapper: https://github.com/goss-org/goss/tree/master/extras/kgoss

Is docker the right tool for my use case? (testing an installscript)
Docker would work. I suggest also integrating infrastructure tests to validate your install script behaved as expected. For example, you could use goss.

Alternative to InSpec: what do you use to "assert things have been correctly configured"?
I've used https://github.com/goss-org/goss in the past and enjoyed it

Portable security testing tooling (not chef inspec)
To answer my own question... https://github.com/goss-org/goss looks like it might do the job - at least for Linux. Windows support is alpha - and there isn't a wealth of CIS benchmarks. Might be a good project to contribute to

Implement DevSecOps to Secure your CI/CD pipeline
Adding an extra layer of security on the container image to verify if it is working as expected and has all required files with correct permissions. We can use dgoss to do validation tests of container images.

What are some of the best tools you have discovered as a Sysadmin?
Bit of a strange one here - Goss. This is a testing tool that we use on all of our servers to validate they are working as expected. Think of it as a sanity check after changes. We have a set of tests setup that validate that the server is working as expected and we run it automatically after any change.

what's your goto tool for smoke-testing your site? tls, security headers, 401's, 403's, custom 404, 500 pages, redirects etc.

How To Use Terraform like a Pro: Part 1
Use GOSS, a YML-based open-source tool that can assert the test results (i.e., verifying if the SSH port 22 is closed or not).

Chainguard Images now available on Docker Hub
lots of questions here regarding what this product is. I guess i can provide some information for the context, from a perspective of an outside contributor.
Chainguard Images is a set of hardened container images.
They were built by the original team that brought you Google's Distroless (https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless)
However, there were few problems with Distroless:
1. distroless were based on Debian - which in turn, limited to Debian's release cadence for fixing CVE.
2. distroless is using bazelbuild, which is not exactly easy to contrib, customize, etc...
3. distroless images are hard to extend.
Chainguard built a new "undistro" OS for container workload, named Wolfi, using their OSS projects like melange (for packaging pkgs) and apko (for building images).
The idea is (from my understanding) is that
1. You don't have to rely on upstream to cut a release. Chainguard will be doing that, with lots of automation & guardrails in placed. This allow them to fix vulnerabilties extremely fast.

Using Alpine can make Python Docker builds 50× slower
> If you have one image based on Ubuntu in your stack, you may as well base them all on Ubuntu, because you only need to download (and store!) the common base image once
This is only true if your infrastructure is static. If your infrastructure is highly elastic, image size has an impact on your time to scale up.
Of course, there are better choices than Alpine to optimize image size. Distroless (https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless) is a good example.

Long Term Ownership of an Event-Driven System
The same as our code dependencies, container updates can include security patches and bug fixes and improvements. However, they can also include breaking changes and it is crucial you test them thoroughly before putting them into production. Wherever possible, I recommend using the distroless base image which will drastically reduce both your image size, your risk vector, and therefore your maintenance version going forward.

Minimizing Nuxt 3 Docker Images
# Use a large Node.js base image to build the application and name it "build" FROM node:18-alpine as build WORKDIR /app # Copy the package.json and package-lock.json files into the working directory before copying the rest of the files # This will cache the dependencies and speed up subsequent builds if the dependencies don't change COPY package*.json /app # You might want to use yarn or pnpm instead RUN npm install COPY . /app RUN npm run build # Instead of using a node:18-alpine image, we are using a distroless image. These are provided by google: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless FROM gcr.io/distroless/nodejs:18 as prod WORKDIR /app # Copy the built application from the "build" image into the "prod" image COPY --from=build /app/.output /app/.output # Since this image only contains node.js, we do not need to specify the node command and simply pass the path to the index.mjs file! CMD ["/app/.output/server/index.mjs"]
