Who Can…?

Managing a Kubernetes cluster with one user is easy. Once you go beyond one user, you need to start using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). I’ve delved into this topic several times in the past with posts on how to Create a Kubernetes User Sandbox in Docker Enterprise and Functional Kubernetes Namespaces in Docker Enterprise. But, once you get beyond a couple of users and/or teams and a few namespaces for them, it quickly becomes difficult to keep track of who can do what and where. And, as time goes on and more and more people have a hand in setting up your RBAC, it can get even more confusing. You can and should have your RBAC resource definitions in source control but it’s not easy to read and is hard to visualize. Enter the open source who-can kubectl plugin from the folks at Aqua Security. It gives you the ability to show who (subjects) can do what (verbs) to what (resources) and where (namespaces).

Configure Custom CIDR Ranges in Docker EE

I recently worked with a customer to customize all of the default Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) ranges used for IP address allocation by Docker Enterprise Edition 3.0 (Docker EE 3.0). The customer primarily wanted to document the customization process for future use. However, there is often a real need to change some of the default CIDR ranges to avoid conflicts with existing private IP addresses already in use within a customer’s network. Typically such a conflict will make it impossible for applications running in containers or pods to access external hosts in the conflicting CIDR range.
