What RKE2 Security Responder collects, and why

Starting in RKE2 v1.37, every cluster runs a small, optional component called security-responder by default. It tells you which CVEs affect the RKE2 version you’re running, and what version to move to next. It does this automatically, in-cluster, without you having to track release notes or CVE feeds yourself. To do that, it needs to […]

Understanding Cluster Management For Kubernetes

Cluster management involves coordinating and optimizing multiple interconnected servers (nodes) so they function as a unified, efficient environment. In a Kubernetes set-up, Kubernetes automates container orchestration, deciding how, where, and when workloads run across those nodes. However, broader cluster management tasks such as provisioning, patching, and hardware maintenance still occur outside of Kubernetes. Essentially, Kubernetes […]
