Necessities of an Air-Gapped Environment 🔒📵💽
It’s possible you haven’t heard of air-gapped environments if you haven’t worked in enterprise software. Enterprises like running their workloads in controlled environments where the supply chain is monitored very closely to avoid any unnecessary side effects and vulnerabilites being introduced into the system due to unsecure network exposure.
Air-gapped systems are necessary security pre-requisite in enterprises but what are the tools we need which make a modern air-gapped system ? Getting data in and out of an air-gapped environment is already hard considering you have to transport the data to a server which has access to the system and then inject the data from there. This becomes even harder when we have to manage a complex distributed system like Kubernetes in an air-gapped environment.
In the context of Kubernetes, you will usually need access to a registry which will have all the necessary images you need to run your mission critical software.
