Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Manufacturers use of technology
1. Manufacturers Use Technology to Help Weather
the Economic Downturn
By Alison Falco, President
Dynamic Systems Inc.
Too often the manufacturers will implement technology for financial reporting
purposes but overlook efficiencies that can generate cash flow and reduce costs
on the manufacturing floor. Accurate information that provides a business owner
or manager the ability to make immediate decisions about his/her operation
resulting in a boost to profitability is crucial during an economic downturn. If
revenue is down and the market mood does not permit price increases, then
profitability can only be realized by reducing costs. So you must ask yourself
“What prevents me from 100% efficiency?”
Focus on “Faster and Better”. Every asset, machine, tool and person you
have must be accountable and cycle more quickly. An airline cannot
survive when planes are not in the air producing revenue. Your business
cannot survive unless you know where your assets are and how they can
be used efficiently. Imagine being able to view where your tools and
equipment are at any moment so that you can plan to transfer them to
the next job. How important it is to locate a unique asset when it is
required on another active job, avoiding any down time? What if you
knew exactly how many hours were spent on each step in the assembly
process and where the bottlenecks were? These situations and others
cause accelerated costs and reduced productivity.
Take a Proactive Approach. Under normal circumstances a business
owner/manager will review financial (accounting) information, overhead
and direct operating margin at the end of a month or quarter. But these
aren’t “normal” circumstances. “Companies must plan their destiny and
not look in the rearview mirror!” stated Bill Allen of W.A. Allen Consulting.
“Instead of flying blind (until a workorder is completed) it’s time to
operate from a plan. Understand what prevents you from 100%
efficiency.”
2. Buy-in Happens from the Top-Down. Start by developing a culture that
compels events to conform to your plan. Anything that deviates from the
plan is an opportunity for cost-savings and efficiencies. Do you have too
much time loss in non-direct labor areas (idle or down time)? By
evaluating what interrupts the workflow on a daily basis, you will uncover
areas that with improvement will provide an increased bottom line. It is
up to the company to make a conscious decision to manage from a
plan rather than react to circumstances, and to hold all employees
accountable for following the plan. This transition will be easier if the
technology tools available today are adopted.
What technology can provide you the most reward? Evaluate your operations to
determine where your technology dollars are best spent.
Reduced Down Time. Can you reduce or minimize the time spent looking
for machines, tools and other assets or plan maintenance and calibration
to avoid machine down time? A tracking system using barcode will show
where your assets are at the time they are needed – who took them last
or which job they were checked out to. An integrated maintenance
scheduler will flag required maintenance as it is due and assure OSHA
compliance.
Do you make shrinkage unacceptable? Proper control of tools and
inventory prevents costs that result from hoarding, irresponsibility or
downright theft. It is up to the company management to declare that
shrinkage is unacceptable and to hold employees accountable for losses
that are under their control. This policy is given “teeth” when you can
effectively track your assets and inventories using technology.
Can you identify bottlenecks in the production process – something that
slows down productivity? Although you may not be aware of the
bottlenecks in production, this is probably the single most important
variable. What are your capacities for output and what is the optimal load
of people, machines and tools to meet 100% capacity? How do you
route the work to prevent idle or down time? A computerized system that
tracks labor hours to a specific function within the assembly process
and on the fly will help prevent these costly issues by identifying those
points where workflow gets interrupted.
Does your staff spend unproductive minutes (or hours) manually
recording transactions? Manpower that goes into manual recording and
recordkeeping does nothing to increase revenue or control costs.
Technology can provide the integrated systems control over asset use,
capacity, maintenance, location – and do it 24 x 7.
3. You don’t have to be one of the “big guys” to afford technology. Today, systems
are available for a reasonable price that can help avoid many of the costs
consumed by inefficiencies in operations and can be purchased as stand-alone
systems focused on one aspect of the business. The decision where to start
depends on what areas you find are losing the most money.
Time and Attendance: A Time and Attendance software package will
tell you who is working when on what job for how long, and produce
reports for payroll. It can be set up to automatically account for start and
end times, breaks, lunch, etc. to reduce the time your employees spend
recording their time, and barcode scanning makes the input fast and easy.
Job Costing: The Job Costing software adds the ability to track
inventory costs plus the labor hours consumed against the specific job
while the job is in progress.
Work in Process (WIP): WIP software is a subset of Job Costing, and
tracks a specific work order through the production process. It will tell
your scheduler and production manager the stage of each work order in
the production process at any moment.
Inventory Control: An Inventory Control software package will account for
your stock parts and tell you when you need to reorder. It can issue parts
to a work order or job and confirm that the correct items have been
pulled. It will keep track of finished goods inventories and report
replenishment requirements. Barcoded inventory makes it quick and easy
to take an inventory count.
Barcode: Barcode technology has been actively used for over 20 years in
manufacturing, distribution and retail to track inventory and jobs. The
barcode terminals are similar to PDA’s, and provide immediate and
accurate information. There are barcode labels designed for harsh
environments that are durable enough to withstand the dirt, grease and
rough use that many environments experience and labels that can be
printed on a laser printer. Barcodes can easily be added to work orders in
the form of a laser “font”, allowing parts, jobs, etc. to be barcoded on the
work order.
Making the job of your employees easier by assuring that they have what they
need to perform at their best reduces stress. Showing them that you are taking
4. steps to increase the profitability will provide them more confidence in the
company.
“Our…ability to readily locate critical tools, monitor routine maintenance
schedules, and track broken equipment has saved countless labor hours and
lowered the frustration level of our shop employees. By providing our employees
an efficient method for obtaining, maintaining, and tracking tools and equipment,
the CheckMate Tool Tracking System has effectively helped lower our operating
costs,” confirmed Thomas Hortman, Project Manager for AAI Services Corp., a
Division of Textron Systems.
While technology won’t cure the credit crunch manufacturers are facing,
automated processes that improve cash flow and keep lenders in the loop,
demonstrating that the business “has its act together” can go a long way in
convincing lenders that their risk is low.
