K8S Check Certificate Chains

K8S Check Certificate Chains

Comments 0 Comment

Github Project: https://github.com/atkaper/k8s-check-certificate-chains Ingress/nginx (running in Kubernetes / K8S) does not like silly certificates, therefore I created two scripts to find wrong ones. The script get-all-k8s-certificates.sh retrieves all certificates from kubernetes, and the check-certificate-chains.sh script verifies the chain’s are complete and in proper ordering. Added md5 hash check on crt and key file to verify the two belong to each other. The check-certificate-chains.sh just reports on WRONG certificates. Run with “-v” option to also show OK’s. Thijs.

At the office, we have quite a bunch of Java developers. However, because we are quickly growing (way, way, way too quick in my opinion), there was an intake exam created, as part of sourcing in new Java coders from external companies. One of the questions on the intake was an interesting one, so we took it upon ourselves (the existing oldies) to try creating not the most beautiful, but the FASTEST way to get the job done 😉 See…

Requirements; use linux on your end, and you need to be able to connect to an SSH server on the network you want to reach. And the local and remote network IP-ranges should NOT…

K8S Network Test Daemonset

Comments 0 Comment

Github Project: https://github.com/atkaper/k8s-network-test-daemonset Description An on-premise K8S (kubernetes) cluster needs a proper working virtual network to connect all masters and nodes to each other. In our situation, the host machines (vmware redhat), are not all 100% the same, and can not easily be wiped clean on new K8S and OS upgrades. Therefor we sometimes experienced issues in which the nodes or masters could not always reach each other. We did use the flannel network, which often caused weird issues. We…

Github Projects: https://github.com/atkaper/pebble-simpleweek-nl and https://github.com/atkaper/pebble-simplicity-nl Pebble is a smartwatch, once created by a no longer existing company as a kickstarter project in 2012. See wikipedia for more info; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble_(watch) I do own a couple of these watches, and did create my own “watch face” for it. I still use the simpleweek-nl one, which displays the time, date, day, and week number. The “strange” number in the top left corner is indicating the year divided by 13 (4 week periods), as…
