&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;New security features are coming to the open-source data platform: K8ssandra. The goal? To align even more with the security best practices of Kubernetes. Here&amp;rsquo;s an introduction to the platform&amp;rsquo;s security mission and an update on current initiatives.&lt;/em&gt;{#e3b8}&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The security defaults applied by &lt;a href="https://k8ssandra.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;K8ssandra&lt;/a&gt;
 are about to get even more aligned with&lt;a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/overview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Kubernetes&amp;rsquo; security practices&lt;/a&gt;
. In an upcoming release of K8ssandra, pod and container security configurations give users full customization capabilities and default values out of the box.{#c373}&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kubernetes Data Simplicity: Getting started with K8ssandra</title><link>https://foojayio.github.io/website/today/kubernetes-data-simplicity-getting-started-with-k8ssandra/</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Dec 2021 08:56:22 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://foojayio.github.io/website/today/kubernetes-data-simplicity-getting-started-with-k8ssandra/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;You might have heard about the &lt;a href="https://github.com/k8ssandra/k8ssandra" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;K8ssandra&lt;/a&gt;
 project and want to start contributing, or maybe you want to start using all of its features. If you aren&amp;rsquo;t familiar with K8ssandra (pronounced like &amp;ldquo;Kate Sandra&amp;rdquo;), you can read this &lt;a href="https://k8ssandra.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;overview&lt;/a&gt;
 before digging into the developer activities in this post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a nutshell, K8ssandra is an open-source distribution of Apache Cassandra™ for Kubernetes, which includes a rich set of trusted open-source services and tooling. K8ssandra comes with handy features that are baked-in and pluggable, which allows for flexible deployment and configuration.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
