Business Software for Red Hat OpenShift

Crossplane is an open-source add-on for Kubernetes that allows platform teams to create infrastructure from various providers while offering higher-level self-service APIs for application teams to utilize, all without requiring any coding. You can provision and oversee cloud services and infrastructure using kubectl commands. By enhancing your Kubernetes cluster, Crossplane delivers Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for any infrastructure or managed service. These detailed resources can be combined into advanced abstractions that are easily versioned, managed, deployed, and utilized with your preferred tools and existing workflows already in place within your clusters. Crossplane was developed to empower organizations to construct their cloud environments similarly to how cloud providers develop theirs, utilizing a control plane approach. As a project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Crossplane broadens the Kubernetes API to facilitate the management and composition of infrastructure. Operators can define policies, permissions, and other protective measures through a custom API layer generated by Crossplane, ensuring that governance and compliance are maintained throughout the infrastructure lifecycle. This innovation paves the way for streamlined cloud management and enhances the overall developer experience.

An open-source interface that ensures secure authentication, management, and auditing of non-human access across various tools, applications, containers, and cloud environments is essential for robust secrets management. These secrets are vital for accessing applications, critical infrastructure, and other sensitive information. Conjur enhances this security by implementing precise Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage secrets tightly. When an application seeks access to a resource, Conjur first authenticates the application, then conducts an authorization assessment based on the established security policy, and subsequently delivers the necessary secret securely. The framework of Conjur is built on the principle of security policy as code, where security directives are documented in .yml files, integrated into source control, and uploaded to the Conjur server. This approach treats security policy with the same importance as other source control elements, fostering increased transparency and collaboration regarding the organization's security standards. Additionally, the ability to version control security policies allows for easier updates and reviews, ultimately enhancing the security posture of the entire organization.

Scalefield is a centralized solution for deploying and managing PostgreSQL services on private cloud infrastructures, developed and maintained by CYBERTEC's PostgreSQL team. This platform caters to organizations that must retain their data on their own infrastructure for reasons related to regulatory compliance or organizational policies, serving as a viable alternative to public cloud database solutions. It integrates PostgreSQL environments into a single managed layer, streamlining processes such as deployment, backups, monitoring, and scaling, while also supporting features like multi-tenancy, encryption, and compliance reporting. Scalefield operates on Kubernetes or OpenShift and seamlessly integrates with various CYBERTEC tools, including the CYBERTEC Migrator, CYPEX, PGEE, Babelfish for PostgreSQL, and Scalefield Secure. By providing a comprehensive management solution, Scalefield empowers organizations to efficiently control their database environments while adhering to necessary regulations.
