Announcing fossabot: AI Agent for Strategic Dependency Updates
Today we're announcing fossabot, a new AI Agent for making strategic dependency updates, backed by a comprehensive accuracy, consistency, and correctness framework. fossabot is able to deliver completed work just like an engineer, including researching new versions, finding app impact and adapating code if needed. This product fulfills our philosophy for automating dependency updates and EdgeBit acquisition.
Principles for Building One-Shot AI Agents for Automated Code Maintenance
EdgeBit is a security platform that helps application engineering teams to find and fix security vulnerabilities. The Dependency Autofix feature contains an extremely accurate reachability engine to identify impact to your app. Most updates have no impact, so engineers using EdgeBit can dedicate efforts on impactful upgrades. This translates to more time spent “on-mission” instead of managing dependencies.
Real-Time SBOM Focuses Supply Chain Security on Real Threats
|
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is an inventory of libraries used in software and is typically generated at build time. The “chain” in software supply chain is there because build is just one step of many. It turns out that closing the loop between build and production is critical to efficient vulnerability management in addition to securing the end-to-end supply chain.

Rob Szumski
Rob Szumski is CEO and co-founder of EdgeBit, the security platform that secures your software supply chain by focusing on code that is actually running. EdgeBit simplifies vulnerability management as it cuts through noise that distracts engineers merging code. Rob was an early employee of CoreOS (YC S13) which popularized the immutable operating system and propelled Kubernetes/container tech into the mainstream. CoreOS was acquired by Red Hat in 2018, where Rob was a Director of Product.
Why Kubernetes Operators Will Unleash Your Developers by Reducing Complexity
Red Hat sponsored this post. Rob Szumski Rob is a Product Manager for OpenShift at Red Hat Kubernetes and the many projects under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) umbrella are advancing so quickly that it can sometimes feel as though the benefits of the open hybrid cloud are, perhaps, not yet evenly distributed.
More Kubernetes innovation, less service complexity: Operators and the future of Kubernetes
Kubernetes, the orchestration engine itself, has reached a point of incremental innovation. This is to say that wholesale, quantum leaps of capabilities are no longer taking place directly in the platform. Instead, Kubernetes now provides a solid foundation for innovation on top of and around itself - just like the Linux kernel, OpenStack and Linux containers before it.
Top Kubernetes Operators advancing across the Operator Capability Model – Red Hat OpenShift Blog
At KubeCon North America 2019 we highlighted what it means to deliver a mature Kubernetes Operator. A Kubernetes Operator is a method of packaging, deploying and managing a Kubernetes application. The key attribute of an Operator is the active, ongoing management of the application, including failover, backups, upgrades and autoscaling, just like a cloud service. These capabilities are ranked into five levels, which are used to gauge maturity.
Pod Evictions based on Taints/Tolerations – Red Hat OpenShift Blog
Red Hat OpenShift 4 is making an important and powerful change to the way pod evictions work. OpenShift has transitioned from using node conditions to using a Taint/Toleration based eviction process, which provides individual pods more control over how they are evicted.
Time-Saving Techniques for Deploying and Managing Kubernetes Apps
The world of application and IT infrastructure has evolved dramatically over the past five years. As containerized application development has risen in popularity, so has the adoption of container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes. Like most open source software, container management and Kubernetes do not simply work with a push of a button — they require expertise.
Make a Kubernetes Operator in 15 minutes with Helm – OpenShift Blog
We previously covered how to automate your existing Helm charts with Ansible. Today we’re going to also cover this topic, but using a technology called an Operator. An Operator is a method of packaging, deploying and managing a Kubernetes application. A Kubernetes application is an application that is both deployed on Kubernetes and managed using the Kubernetes APIs and kubectl tooling.
Unlocking the secrets of the Vault Open Cloud Service on Kubernetes | CoreOS
Unlocking the secrets of the Vault Open Cloud Service on Kubernetes In December, CoreOS shipped Tectonic 1.8, the latest release of our enterprise Kubernetes platform, which includes a new catalog of Open Cloud Services. These industry-first services, designed to run on top of and fully integrate with Kubernetes, offer the same near-effortless operations customers have come to expect from cloud providers, while avoiding the pitfalls of cloud vendor lock-in.
CoreOS launches Tectonic 1.7.1 with support for Microsoft Azure cloud
Today, CoreOS is proud to announce Tectonic 1.7.1, the latest version of our enterprise-ready Kubernetes platform, now with support for the Microsoft Azure cloud. We've been hard at work ensuring Tectonic customers gain the most reliable, secure, and easy way to deploy and manage Kubernetes, both on-premises and in whatever cloud configurations they desire.
CoreOS Tectonic brings enterprise Kubernetes to Microsoft Azure
Cloud and containerized infrastructure have transformed the way enterprises deploy IT workloads, and Kubernetes has emerged as a leading orchestration tool for application containers. That's why we're thrilled to announce that CoreOS and Microsoft have partnered to bring CoreOS Tectonic, an enterprise-ready Kubernetes solution, to Microsoft Azure.
