Containers have become the backbone of modern DevOps, but they also introduce new security headaches. A single vulnerable base image or misconfigured container can snowball into a major breach across dozens of services. In fact, recent research found that about 75% of container images carry high-severity or critical vulnerabilities. Add to this the 2025 trends of supply chain attacks and ever-evolving CVEs, and it’s clear that container scanning tools are a must-have.

Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, abstracting many of the manual steps of rolling upgrades and scaling. When building cloud-native applications, you’ll often need to deploy database applications like PostgreSQL so that your applications can leverage their features within the cluster.

Today, organizations struggle managing disparate technologies for their Kubernetes networking and network security needs. Leveraging multiple technologies for networking and security for in-cluster, ingress, egress, and traffic across clusters creates challenges, including operational complexities and increased costs.

We’re excited to announce that ARMO now fully supports Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot clusters! This update comes in response to strong demand from our user community and enterprise customers, many of whom are embracing Autopilot for its simplicity and operational efficiency — while still requiring deep, real-time security observability and enforcement. Get your Kubernetes Security Checklist now.

Calico provides a unified platform for all your Kubernetes networking, network security, and observability requirements. From ingress/egress management and east-west policy enforcement to multi-cluster connectivity, Calico delivers comprehensive capabilities. It is distribution-agnostic, preventing vendor lock-in and offering a consistent experience across popular Kubernetes distributions and managed services.

This post details the methodology used to scan 15 million Docker images, uncovering a staggering 100,000 valid secrets, including AWS, GCP, and GitHub tokens belonging to Fortune 500 companies. This emphasizes the critical need for improved security practices in containerized environments.

Container security starts with your base image. But here’s the catch: In this post, we’ll explore why updating base images is harder than it seems, walk through real examples, and show how you can automate safe, intelligent upgrades without breaking your app.

When I got the assignment to attend KubeCon 1st of April I thought it was an April prank, but as the date got closer I realized—this is for real and I’ll be on the ground in London at the tenth anniversary of cloud native computing. I’ve seen a lot of tech events during my years in the industry while trying not to get replaced by AI and I have to say this one stands out!
