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.

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.

Pico.sh – Hacker Labs
My script just sets up default .sops.yaml for https://github.com/getsops/sops
You can further edit .sops.yaml(eg have multiple of them) and decide how you split secrets in your directory tree to further customize who can decrypt the secrets.
It works pretty well for prod/dev splits, etc

Encrypting your secrets with Mozilla SOPS using two AWS KMS Keys
Mozilla SOPS (Secrets OPerationS) is an open-source command-line tool for managing and storing secrets. It uses secure encryption methods to encrypt secrets at rest and decrypt them at runtime. SOPS supports a variety of key management systems, including AWS KMS, GCP KMS, Azure Key Vault, and PGP. It's particularly useful in a DevOps context where sensitive data like API keys, passwords, or certificates need to be securely managed and seamlessly integrated into application workflows.

Tracking SQLite Database Changes in Git
We do the exact same thing to keep track of some credentials we use sops[1] and AWS KMS to separate credentials by sensitivity, then use the git differ to view the diffs between the encrypted secrets
Definitely not best practice security-wise, but it works well

Show HN: Shello – Wrangle Environment Variables
I've found this is largely solved by strictly separating plain config and secrets, and then having secrets pull from GCP secret manager / vault / whatever.
You can then commit all the config (including the secret identifiers) and it all just works so long as you're authenticated with your secret storage system.
We do this for the live configuration as well in line with Gitops and find it to work well.
If you don't want to use a cloud secret manager you can also use something like https://github.com/getsops/sops to commit the encrypted secrets safely

Check your secrets into Git [video]
Basically, the simpler the better --just encrypt your secrets and check them in to version control.
We use SOPS[0] for this, and have found it to be pretty nice.

How to secure secrets of docker-compose stacks with git?
The answer is that secrets shouldn't be stored in the git repo at all, but somewhere safe like a password manager or Mozilla's SOPS which people seem to love.
-
Is it safe to commit a Terraform file to GitHub?
Unfortunately, the SOPS project is in some sort of a limbo state and there has been quite a long period with limited maintenance and unclear position from Mozilla. Despite the project being accepted into the CNCF, it's still unclear what will happen with it going forward.
