5G MEC Integration

Integration of 5G mobile edge computing with container platforms for low-latency applications and services at network edges.

AIOps for Container Environments

Application of AI and machine learning for automated operations, monitoring, and management of containerized environments.

API Deprecation Policy

Guidelines for phasing out older API versions in Kubernetes, ensuring smooth transitions for users.

API Extensions

Mechanisms to extend the Kubernetes API with custom resources and functionalities, enhancing platform capabilities.

API Gateway Pattern

Containerized service that acts as a single entry point for all client requests to a microservices architecture.

API Server

Core component of Kubernetes that exposes the cluster's API and handles all administrative operations.

API Server Aggregation

Kubernetes feature allowing the API server to be extended with additional APIs without modifying core Kubernetes code.

API-First Development

Approach prioritizing API design before implementation, crucial for developing scalable containerized microservices.

AWS Fargate

Serverless compute engine for containers, allowing you to run containers without managing the underlying infrastructure.

Adapter Pattern

Design pattern in containerized microservices that wraps a service's interface to make it compatible with other services.

Admission Controllers

Plugins that intercept requests to the Kubernetes API server before object persistence, enforcing policies or modifying objects.

Admission Controllers for Security

Admission controllers specifically focused on enforcing security policies and validating security-related configurations.

Admission Webhooks

HTTP callbacks that receive admission requests and can modify or validate objects before they are persisted.

Admission Webhooks in Operators

Use of admission webhooks within Kubernetes operators to enforce custom policies or modify resources.

Advanced Audit

Kubernetes feature providing detailed logging of all requests processed by the API server for security and compliance.

Aggregated API Servers

Extension of the Kubernetes API server to include custom resources and functionalities without modifying core Kubernetes.

Aggregated ClusterRoles

Combination of multiple ClusterRoles into a single role, simplifying RBAC management in Kubernetes.

Air-gapped Registries

Container registries isolated from public networks, used in secure or restricted environments.

Akri

Open-source project for exposing heterogeneous leaf devices as resources in Kubernetes clusters.

Alertmanager Configuration

Setup and management of Prometheus Alertmanager for handling alerts from monitoring systems.

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)

Fully managed Docker container registry provided by AWS for storing, managing, and deploying container images.

Ambassador Pattern

Microservices design pattern where a dedicated service acts as an API gateway for other services.

Ambient Mesh

Service mesh implementation that doesn't require sidecars, reducing resource overhead and simplifying deployment.

Anchore Engine for Image Scanning

Open-source tool for deep inspection of container images, including vulnerability scanning and policy enforcement.

Ansible-based Operators

Kubernetes operators implemented using Ansible for automating application lifecycle management.
