At Zabbix, we’ve championed the open-source movement, with its emphasis on openness, transparency, and cooperation, from day one. Because of this, prospective customers and partners often have questions about the security of our product – the fear being that open-source software is somehow less secure than proprietary software.

We recently had a question asked of us in the community slack channel, and it’s worth sharing.

The installation instructions we provide for this work well in most cases, but they do make the assumption that all your Swarm nodes are configured in the same way. However, this might not always be the case.
As part of the process of validating Portainer functionality across a range of Kubernetes distributions, we have the opportunity to experiment with the vendor installation /configuration tools that they make available. This week it’s Talos Kubernetes, and Sidero Omni. Talos has been getting a lot of love in the community, and I wanted to see if it is as good as everyone says it is.. spoiler alert.. it is!
For a while now, Portainer has offered a unified management control point for Kubernetes – any Kubernetes, anywhere – but recently we have been asked specifically if we know of any concerns or considerations with a few named distros such as; MicroK8s, Talos, Openshift, KOs, K3s, Rancher and Amazon EKS. I thought I would try them all out and I also tried; Azure AKS, Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Civo Kubernetes, Digital Ocean Kubernetes, Linode Kubernetes, Vultr Kubernetes.
The objective of this project was to establish a robust and integrated environment for the continuous monitoring of code quality and performance metrics. To achieve this, SonarQube, an open-source platform for the continuous inspection of code quality, was installed on AlmaLinux. Following its setup, SonarQube was seamlessly integrated with Zabbix,…
As a technical guy, regardless of where I am in my career, I love to keep my hands on the tools… its what makes me able to run technical workshops, talk with engineers, and question statements made that are baseless in fact… call it my unfair advantage.
I came across a great LinkedIn Post by Hijmen Fokker on the complexities of securing a Kubernetes cluster, and how, due to complexity and a lack of understanding, most people run with an insecure setup.
QU!CK Scan & Go, a startup specializing in self-service markets, required a monitoring system that could allow a comprehensive view of operations. Read on to see how Zabbix provided them with a solution that positively impacted their operations as well as their finances. The convenience of having access to an…
A top-level domain (TLD) is the part of a URL that comes after the last dot in a domain name. While most are familiar with the first TLDs of .com, .net, and .org, there are more than 1,400 TLDs. fTLD Registry (fTLD) is a global coalition of banks, insurance companies,…
