Introduction to the Compliance Operator The OpenShift Compliance Operator is all about keeping your OpenShift cluster secure and in line with governance policies. It does this by scanning both the OpenShift Platform 4 (ocp4) and Red Hat Core OS 4 (RHCOS4). Now, let’s break down the types of compliance checks it can handle: Platform (Cluster) Related Checks: These checks use the OpenShift API to make sure everything is shipshape. Node Related Checks: These scans take a closer look at the filesystem of each node....

Need for slimming down containers OpenShift, an enterprise-ready Kubernetes platform, offers a multitude of benefits. One such advantage is the Source-to-Image (S2I) build strategy, that simplifies the process of converting source code into deployable container images. This strategy enables developers to build container images without the need to define a container file explicitly. OpenShift clones the application’s source code into a builder image that utilizes builder scripts, ultimately generating a container image deployable within the cluster....

Containers are inherently ephemeral, making them more difficult to manage than traditional programmes operating on virtual or bare metal servers. Container monitoring, on the other hand, is a critical capability for applications based on current microservices architectures in order to achieve maximum performance. Containerized applications frequently necessitate monitoring. Performing health-checks is one technique to keep these containers up and running at all times. The usage of the curl command to verify if the application within the container is still up and running is one of the approaches I’ve come across for doing health-checks....
