We own and operate physical infrastructure for our backend services. We need an effective way to route arbitrary TCP and UDP traffic between services and also from outside these data centers.

Azure Security Center monitors and defends thousands of Kubernetes clusters running on top of Azure Kubernetes Service. In this blog, we’ll reveal a new campaign that was observed recently by ASC that targets Kubeflow, a machine learning toolkit for Kubernetes.

Two years ago, Sarah Wells from the Financial Times gave a KubeCon EU keynote about how the company moved from monolith to microservices, and how her Content and Metadata Platform team moved to Kubernetes specifically. She joins us this week to recap that…
