Solving Secret Sprawl in Multi-Account Kubernetes with External Secrets Operator
Infrastructure automation in Kubernetes is largely a solved problem-until secret management enters the picture. As environments scale, distributing and rotating secrets across multiple isolated clusters quickly becomes a major operational challenge. Our team recently faced this exact problem while designing a scalable Kubernetes platform for a client running on EKS. The core issue wasn’t specific […]
Modernizing CI/CD: Migrating Bash and Jenkins Pipelines to GitHub Actions
In earlier posts Migrating Bitbucket Repositories and Pipelines to GitHub Actions and Secure Dependency Updates During Bitbucket to GitHub Migration , we covered how repositories were migrated from Bitbucket Cloud to GitHub and how project dependencies were securely updated to ensure builds continued to run reliably. With source control and dependencies in place, the next […]
Deploying Self-Hosted GitHub Runners on Kubernetes (EKS) with a Custom Docker Image
Deploying self-hosted GitHub runners at the organization level can be more complex than expected – especially when you need full control over tooling, scalability, and execution speed. In our case, we needed a custom runner environment preloaded with DevOps tools such as Terraform, AWS CLI, kubectl, Helm, and Gitleaks. Installing these at runtime inside every […]
Fetching Secrets in Kubernetes with the AWS Secrets Manager Agent Sidecar
Managing secrets in Kubernetes can sound straightforward-until you actually implement it at scale. Common approaches include mounting Kubernetes secrets as environment variables, using an external secrets operator, or calling cloud SDKs directly from application code. Each option introduces trade-offs around caching, auditing, security boundaries, and application coupling. In this post, we walk through an alternative […]
Secure Dependency Updates During Bitbucket to GitHub Migration
In a previous post, we described how repositories were migrated from Bitbucket Cloud to GitHub Cloud while preserving full Git history, including branches, tags, and submodule references. That migration established a solid foundation, but moving repositories alone is only part of a successful transition. This article continues the journey by focusing on securely updating project […]
Migrating Bitbucket Repositories and Pipelines to GitHub Actions
Migrating CI/CD pipelines is a common task for DevOps engineers, especially as teams move toward more unified and modern delivery platforms. In this real-world case study, we walk through the process of migrating multiple Bitbucket repositories and pipelines to GitHub, while modernizing CI workflows using GitHub Actions. The repositories in scope were responsible for firmware […]
Prometheus Monitoring: Observability for Modern Cloud-Native Infrastructure
Prometheus has become one of the most widely adopted monitoring tools for modern cloud-native environments. As organizations scale applications across distributed systems, having reliable metrics and visibility into infrastructure performance is essential for maintaining stability and performance. In this article, we explore what Prometheus is, how it is used in modern monitoring strategies, and how […]
GitOps Policy-as-Code: Securing Kubernetes with Argo CD and Kyverno
As Kubernetes environments develop, GitOps with Argo CD has become the standard for declarative, self-healing infrastructure. Yet without guardrails for your deployments, misconfigured, insecure, or non-compliant resources can easily make it to production. This blog walks through how to deploy Kyverno alongside Argo CD, using baseline policies from the official Kyverno Policies Helm chart and […]
Ansible in Modern IT: Configuration Management and Automation Explained
Ansible is a widely adopted automation tool used to manage infrastructure, configure systems, and streamline operational workflows. As IT environments grow more complex, this automation solution helps teams reduce manual work, enforce consistency, and automate repetitive tasks across cloud and on-premises systems. In this article, we look at what the platform is, how it is […]
Terraform for Modern Infrastructure: Automating Cloud Workflows at Scale
Terraform is a leading tool for defining, provisioning, and managing cloud infrastructure through code. As organizations embrace DevOps and cloud-native practices, it enables teams to automate complex environments, reduce manual efforts, and maintain consistency across regions and environments. In this article, we’ll explore what Terraform is, how it is used in modern cloud workflows, and […]
