Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Reviews

The solution is used in our organization for container security. In our company, we have used OpenShift to create a base image using UPI and Docker images, which are available with Red Hat. The aforementioned UPI images have varying features, and you can use only the ones that are required. The images within the solution are more secure in comparison to other images distributed by Docker. 

The communication between containers in our company occurs through a unique subnetwork and the ports present in the cluster is divided for each node when the principal objective for each node is defined. The connection between microservices used in our company is called GRPC which provides enhanced performance, and there is also a layer embedded in the GRPC server to implement limited authentication in between connections.

I have used Istio service mesh with the solution, which allows visibility into the connections between the containers. In our company, we have also used a distributed database so that we can establish a connection with the database for multiple instances and use it in different parts of the system. 

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes offers easy management with authentication and authorization features. The UPI images offered by the solution remain secured as the Red Hat team maintains the base images. 

The tool allows container connection with HTTPS for the management of each container. 

Our use cases are for container monitoring and scanning.

One of the most valuable features I found was the ability of this solution to map the network and show you the communication between your containers and your different nodes.

Red Hat can be utilized for anything, including OpenShift, Kubernetes, dev environments, automation, banking, and many IT industries.

I like virtualization and all those tools that come with OpenShift. I also like Advanced Cluster Management and the built-in security.

I use the solution in my company for vulnerability management, configuration management, compliance, safety handling, and everything else.

The most beneficial security feature of the product revolves around the areas of vulnerability and configuration.

We have to know what kind of services we are deploying for Kubernetes, whether it's a web application or an app application. During the CI/CD pipeline deployment, I have used Kubernetes native security for the product that protects the applications across the build to deploy in the run time. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes scans the environment against the security for the best practices to prevent misconfiguration threats.

It is supported for the scanning of the embedded OpenShift Container Registry. It can be used to identify inactive software components, detect vulnerabilities, improve the detection capabilities of spring vulnerabilities, and verify the email signatures.

My company has been using the solution for quite a long time, and it's been working really well. The productivity and visibility of the entire landscape of the registries, the containers, the deployments, and the runtime behavior have been really good. The solution performs system-level event monitoring. It collects and evaluates the system-level events, processes the execution, and monitors the network connection that flows with each container in your Kubernetes environment.

The runtime vulnerability in the solution is really good as it uses the Log4j software package to facilitate the redemption efforts in these environments. The run time monitoring immediately identifies the security risks, manages the compliance, evaluates the security risks, and manages the security policies.

Basically, the solution is integrated OpenShift. Whenever we are installing OpenShift, everything will be using the orchestration of the deployment ports and will be taken care of by the underlying Kubernetes. It can be applied inside OpenShift.

The command administration in the solution is the most valuable feature of the tool.

I worked with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security's APIs, and I integrated it with Python programming language in order to automate an automatic touch and to generate, monitor, and also to create tickets so we can send them to the rightful administrators of the cloud container or the or the cluster running on the servers.

The benefit of working with the solution is the fact that it's very straightforward. I felt like, if you are an admin, as I was, then you have access to everything, and you have a full view of all the network and the communications. From my view, the benefit was it was easier for me to control all the communication and to see where it was going and where it was coming from. And the second thing that was benefit of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security was vulnerability scanning because we could have all the reviews about all the vulnerabilities that came along, and we could detect exactly and quickly the container infected by the vulnerability, which is a very, very good system and a monitoring solution for containers, especially for enterprise-level containers. So because I believe we had almost thousands of images and containers, and it was, like, very fast to detect all the infected containers, it was beneficial.

We have implemented the solution to address the recent security issue in the Openshift Kubernetes cluster.

Stability is the most valuable feature.
