We standardize on Helm charts with organizational policies, enforce compliance via Kyverno, and use ArgoCD for GitOps-driven deployments.
NixOS can work as a Kubernetes node OS for specific use cases but requires careful management of immutability, hardware diversity, and cluster orchestration.
Start with default-deny ingress and refine policies only where necessary to enforce least privilege without overcomplicating maintenance.
The External Secrets Operator simplifies secret management but requires careful handling of reconciliation and authentication tradeoffs to avoid security and stability issues in production.
Cilium and Istio Ambient Mesh offer different tradeoffs for EKS egress control; choose based on mTLS needs, sidecar overhead, and operational maturity.
