24 alternatives to Constellation – An always encrypted Kubernetes engine
Hey HN, my colleagues and I have been working on Constellation for 1.5+ years. We open sourced it today under AGPLv3. It's a standalone Kubernetes engine/distribution that operations-wise is very much vanilla K8s (v1.24). Security-wise, it comes with some new concepts: It's designed to shield K8s clusters as a whole from the cloud. The goal is that not even the cloud provider and its employees can access any data in a cluster. Constellation basically ensures that all nodes in a cluster (1) run inside verified "Confidential VMs" and (2) encrypt all network traffic and storage.…

Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…
