Shorewall mentions (6)

• DHCP is not blocked by ufw/iptables

  All mentioned items have side-channel borked firewall and route rules in the past. Some bugs intermittently silently block local daemon instances from (re)loading like magic (some bugs only happen when the system is brought up). If your daily tasks include something less borked, than consider yourself very lucky you live without systemd. If I recall, ufw was intended for simple workstation rule sets.

• Life After Shorewall: Replacement Options?

  I've been using Shorewall for the last decade or so on everything from custom OpenWRT firewall/gateway solutions to servers running Debian or Ubuntu.

• How to hairpin a whole network segment?

  Despite administrating Linux machines since 1994, I have never really looked closely at iptables because I was using shorewall and the briefly firehol. Source: over 1 year ago

• Terraform code for kubernetes on vsphere?

  I don't know in which extend you plan to use Kubernetes in the future, but if it is aimed to become several huge production clusters, you should looks into Apps like Rancher: https://rancher.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I want to provide some free support for community, how should I start?

  But I think once you have a good understanding of K8S internal (components, how thing work underlying, etc.), you can use some tool to help you provision / maintain k8s cluster easier (look for https://rancher.com/ and alternatives). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Don't Use Kubernetes, Yet

  A few years, I would have said no. Now, I'm cautiously optimistic about it. Personally, I think that you can use something like Rancher (https://rancher.com/) or Portainer (https://www.portainer.io/) for easier management and/or dashboard functionality, to make the learning curve a bit more approachable. For example, you can create a deployment through the UI by following a wizard that also offers you... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Building an Internal Kubernetes Platform

  Alternatively, it is also possible to use a multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud approach, which combines several cloud providers or even public and private clouds. Special tools such as Rancher and OpenShift can be very useful to run this type of system. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Five Dex Alternatives for Kubernetes Authentication

  Rancher provides a Rancher authentication proxy that allows user authentication from a central location. With this proxy, you can set the credential for authenticating users that want to access your Kubernetes clusters. You can create, view, update, or delete users through Rancher’s UI and API. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
