KubeCon EU is set to take place in Paris from Wednesday March 20 thru Friday 22, and Venafi is thrilled to announce our sponsorship and participation in this very popular event. As a leader in machine identity management, Venafi is dedicated to empowering platform and cloud security engineers with advanced solutions for cloud security and workload identity management. Our presence at KubeCon EU signifies our continued commitment to the cloud native community and our work to enhance operational efficiency and security compliance in the rapidly evolving cloud native landscape.
What you’ll see at Venafi’s dedicated stand in the main hall
We’ll have a dedicated stand at L8 in the main hall, a hub where innovation meets expertise. Here, you'll have the opportunity to engage with our specialists and discover how Venafi is advancing the way companies manage their workload identities in Kubernetes environments. High-speed, low latency certificate issuing solutions like Venafi Firefly provide a cloud-agnostic Certificate Authority (CA) solution that ensures that platform teams can build highly automated, secure development environments across any cloud. Using a Firefly integration with enterprise PKI avoids the challenges of vendor lock-in and limitations associated with cloud provider-specific PKI and identity management services. Firefly follows the principles of Zero Trust and harmonizes the certificate volume and velocity needs of platform engineering and security teams. It offers a high-speed, flexible, and efficient approach to PKI and workload identity management, crucial for modern, fast-paced developer environments, especially in multi-cloud setups.
Both security and platform engineering teams are increasingly working to secure the widespread use of the developer preferred open source cert-manager project for machine identity management in Kubernetes production clusters. Using our flagship product, TLS Protect for Kubernetes, we will demonstrate how to improve security for developer teams by integrating the wildly popular cert-manager with streamlined automation and developer-friendly guardrails. This ensures that machine identities are not only automated but also compliant with security policies, a core tenet of Zero Trust security.
Get answers at the cert-manager stand in the CNCF Project Pavilion
In addition to our main stand, we are also excited to continue our tradition with the cert-manager stand in the CNCF Project Pavilion. This stand has become a cornerstone for platform engineers to connect with the cert-manager team from Venafi. It’s an invaluable opportunity for attendees to discuss, explore, and resolve any issues or queries related to cert-manager, a pivotal tool in the Kubernetes ecosystem.
Explore our collaboration with Otterize for enhanced security solutions
Our collaboration with Otterize to cloud native security policies will be a key highlight of this year’s KubeCon. In stand L35, Otterize and Venafi experts will be showcasing the integration of cert-manager with Otterize’s innovative solution for intent-based policy management. This collaboration is pivotal in offering platform engineers flexible just-in-time AWS access for Kubernetes workloads anywhere. The synergy between cert-manager and Otterize’s solution exemplifies the power of Venafi’s vast partner ecosystem and our commitment to providing comprehensive security solutions that cater to the dynamic needs of modern infrastructure. Visit the Otterize stand and you may even be able to score a mini stuffed Otterize otter with a Venafi hat.
