FIPS dynamic feature, a new convenient way to configure FIPS modes in your containers and charts

By Alvaro Neira posted 12 days ago
Be the first person to recommend this.
By Álvaro Neira and Gonzalo Gómez What is Dynamic FIPS Feature? Hardened Bitnami Secure Images (BSI) are delivered with comprehensive FIPS preparation, including OpenSSL FIPS and compatible runtime configurations. While this ensures high security, we realized that a hard default could inadvertently restrict users who don't require FIPS compliance. This might impact the experience of using Bitnami Secure Images due to friction with FIPS for products that do not require it. To address this, our Dynamic FIPS Feature was developed, empowering users to easily configure FIPS mode levels directly within their containers and Helm charts, optimizing for ...

Beware the Tooling Creep: How to Exorcise Chaos with Enterprise Orchestration

By Michael Lentini posted Nov 12, 2025
Be the first person to recommend this.
Every Halloween, we expect ghosts, goblins, and things that go bump in the night. But for enterprises, the real fright often lurks in the toolchain. It starts innocently enough: A new team adopts Jira, another prefers Azure DevOps, engineering wants to standardize on Rally, finance insists on Clarity, and IT leans on ServiceNow. Before you know it, you’ve created a monster—the Tooling Creep—a tangled, ever-growing beast that drains productivity, obscures visibility, and devours budgets. The horror of tooling chaos Like any good horror story, tooling creep thrives in the shadows. Leaders can’t see across initiatives. Teams duplicate effort. Reports ...

Integrating Broadcom Endevor and Test4z for Seamless Unit Testing Introduction In today's fast-paced DevOps world, integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines is a well-accepted best practice.

Achieve Zero Trust: How Symantec PAM Delivers End-to-End Least Privilege Protection

By Justin Stanton posted Oct 30, 2025
Be the first person to recommend this.
In an era where cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, the principle of least privilege has evolved from a best practice to a core pillar of enterprise cybersecurity. Organizations are adopting identity-based Zero Trust architectures, where access is continuously verified and privileges are tightly controlled. Implementing least privilege ensures that users, systems, and applications receive only the permissions required to perform their tasks—no more, no less. Symantec Privileged Access Manager (PAM) offers a unified, policy-driven platform for enforcing least privilege across the enterprise. It secures privileged accounts, monitors administrative ...

Beyond the Pull Request: How to Confidently Assess a Bitnami Helm Chart Update for Your Production Cluster

By Alfredo García posted Oct 28, 2025
Be the first person to recommend this.
GitOps has fundamentally changed how we deploy applications. With tools like ArgoCD and Renovate Bot , the deployment pipeline is reduced to a simple action: merging a Pull Request (PR). But what happens when that PR proposes an update to a critical production service, and you don't have a dedicated pre-production environment for testing? The real challenge in modern GitOps isn't automation—it's assessment . Every time an automated bot suggests a new version of a Bitnami Secure Images Helm chart, a DevOps engineer faces the "production update dilemma." Is the potential security gain worth the risk of disruption? This article walks ...
