k3d is a Kubernetes distribution for Docker that makes it easy to replicate a production-like environment in a local container environment. It's great for local development and familiarizing yourself with OpenZiti's deployment options.

This is part two of a three-part article. This article provides the technical deep dive into the steps necessary to implement the vision outlined in part one. This article will be heavy on OpenZiti CLI commands, explaining what we are doing to configure the overlay network, and why. In the final article, we will explore what we have just created and understand what was just created

Goals​

• Incredibly easy to deploy Prometheus servers

• No ports exposed to the internet

• Prometheus servers can be deployed listening on the overlay, not on the underlay

• Private Kubernetes API

This is part one of a three-part article. This article provides the necessary background and rationale for the series. The next article will be a detailed explanation of the actual steps necessary to implement the solution. In the final article, we will explore what we have just created and understand what was just created

This is part three of a three-part article. This article builds on the previous two articles. Here we will take a look at what we built and use it to explore the power of a zitified Prometheus. See part one for the necessary background about the series. See part two for detailed instructions covering how to setup the environment you're about to explore

The previous post showed how to use a zero trust overlay like Ziti for transferring files by zitifying scp. Next up in the list of zitifications is kubectl. Kubernetes is a container orchestration system. Its purpose is to deploy, scale, and manage the deployment containers. Containers are self-contained, pre-built images of software generally with a singular purpose. Developers often like using containers for various reasons. One major reason developers like containers is because it simplifies the deployment of the solutions they are developing. This is where Kubernetes starts to come into focus.
