One of the easiest things you can do to secure pretty much anything is to make it easier to use TLS (Transport Layer Security) for network connections. Now, that project’s parent companies, Jetstack, a Kubernetes product and services provider, in partnership with Venafi, have launched Jetstack Secure, a fully automated machine identity management for Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift based on cert-manager.

It, and Jetstack Secure, support Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) compatible certificate authorities (CAs) such as Let’s Encrypt, HashiCorp Vault, Venafi, and self-signed private internal certificates using mTLS across a service mesh.

Blink twice and things change in a Kubernetes cluster, but its makers assure users that Jetstack Secure is built to operate in fast-paced, rapidly evolving Kubernetes and OpenShift environments, It deploys easily using Kubernetes resources, including an open source agent, which is backed by a reliable and scalable SaaS managed by Jetstack.

With Jetstack Secure,” Bates concluded, “our customers can see a detailed view of each cluster and an instant visual status of all workload certificates, including their association with Kubernetes resources.
