  • dex

    Discontinued OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity and OAuth 2.0 provider with pluggable connectors [Moved to: https://github.com/dexidp/dex] (by coreos)

  • Dex is another open-source tool for SSO on the Kubernetes cluster, developed from CoreOS. Dex supports LDAP, GitHub, SAML 2.0, GitLab, OAuth 2.0, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Bitbucket Cloud, OpenShift, Atlassian Crowd, Gitea, and OpenStack Keystone for SSO. You can control token generation after login using Dex and force the user to re-authenticate if needed. Dex also provides strong documentation to implement various connectors.

  • Vault

    A tool for secrets management, encryption as a service, and privileged access management

  • Using an external secrets manager is recommended because if a user can access those credentials, that raises the possibility of misuse. There are many tools and providers available that can store your sensitive data, such as AWS Secrets Manager and HashiCorp Vault.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • prometheus

    The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.

  • There are many tools available to analyze audit log files, such as Prometheus and Grafana. Analysis helps you detect issues like authentication or authorization failures and slow API requests. You can also use the log report data to identify unusual traffic to the cluster, which can help you mitigate any attacks.

  • kubernetes

    Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management

  • Kubernetes, an automated system for managing containerized applications, offers multiple benefits to developers. It eliminates application downtime by creating a new pod automatically when an existing pod crashes, and it allows teams to easily scale applications for traffic increases or decreases. Many organizations are moving their existing applications to Kubernetes due to these and other features.

  • Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.
