Scaling DevSecOps without burnout: how I moved from manual security reviews to AI-assisted recommendations that empower product teams.
In 2025, are you still embedding RDS database passwords in your app? If your software supports stable passwordless authentication, switch to it. It’s more secure and simplifies credential management.
Sooner or later, your Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Cluster will run out of IP allocation for your workloads, pods and all.
A lot of uncertainty this year fr fr. Like, A LOT lot. But we move.
Tried many things i feared trying in the last two years
Having worked across some startups over time, i have seen how many of them handle apps meant to be internal, best guess? its mostly deployed to the public.
Have you ever faced that dreaded moment when your EKS nodes suddenly go into a NotReady state? If you're managing an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster, this scenario might be all too familiar. While checking cluster logs gives you some insight, sometimes you need direct access to the nodes themselves.
Look, I get it. Everyone is using Cosign and Rekor for container signing these days. I've used it myself (check out my previous post if you're curious). But when you're working on private projects, using Sigstore's public Rekor instance isn't really an option.
I must say you shouldn't bet against open-source software, even when Terraform was still open-source, the ability to have state encryption was not available but was available on their Terraform cloud.
best bet, you are not rotating your password and tokens across your infrastructure and deployment but if the software you use has the passwordless authentication option and it's stable why not go for it?
We try, next year we go again. ✌🏽✌🏽 E go be.
