Jetstack's cert-manager, a leading open-source project in Kubernetes certificate management, began as a job interview challenge. Co-founder Matt Barker recalls asking a prospective engineer to automate Let's Encrypt within Kubernetes. By Monday, the candidate had created kube-lego, which evolved into cert-manager, now downloaded over 500 million times monthly.Cert-manager's journey to CNCF graduation, achieved in September, began with its donation to the foundation four years ago. Relaunched as cert-manager, the project grew under engineer James Munnelly, becoming the de facto standard for certificate lifecycle management. The thriving community and ecosystem around cert-manager highlighted its suitability for CNCF stewardship. However, maintainers, including Ashley Davis, noted challenges in navigating differing opinions within its vast user base.With graduation achieved, cert-manager's roadmap includes sub-projects like trust-manager, addressing TLS trust bundle management and Istio integration. Barker aims to streamline enterprise-scale deployments and educate security teams on cert-manager's impact. Cert-manager has become integral to cloud-native workflows, promising to simplify hybrid, multicloud, and edge deployments.Learn more from The New Stack about cert-manager:Jetstack's cert-manager Joins the CNCF Sandbox of Cloud Native TechnologiesJetstack Secure Promises to Ease Kubernetes TLS SecurityJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

In this compelling episode, we welcome back Kevin Bocek, VP of Ecosystem and Community at Venafi, along with Matt Barker, Global Head of Cloud Native Services at the same company. The conversation couldn't be more timely. With the AI Act debate reaching new heights, and Foreign Secretary James Cleverly making statements that AI challenges our basic assumptions about defense and deterrence, the insights Kevin and Matt bring are invaluable. Kevin introduces us to the groundbreaking concept of an identity-based "AI Kill Switch," a security measure that could be instrumental in making AI "safe and predictable by design," as James Cleverly emphasized at a recent UN meeting. The UK is gearing up to host the first global summit on AI, and Kevin argues that without incorporating identity into every line of code that makes up AI systems, principles of safety and predictability are mere pipe dreams. An identity-based approach can offer the kind of control and observability that could, for instance, thwart attempts to poison AI algorithms used for facial recognition on smartphones. Matt Barker steps into the discussion with his expertise in open-source innovation. Drawing from a paper he recently authored for Open UK, Matt discusses the impact of AI on open-source development. He also delves into the potentially stifling effects of the EU's Cyber Resilience Act on European innovation, highlighting lessons that the UK could learn to avoid similar setbacks. Throughout the episode, the importance of open-source models in driving AI innovation stands out as a recurring theme. Matt, Kevin, and I also discuss the challenges and opportunities posed by EU regulations on open-source development. The conversation doesn't stop at AI and extends to other cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes and MLOps. The significance of these technologies in the current AI landscape is examined, along with the unique potential of applying identity management across both cloud-native and traditional IT environments. As we wrap up, the episode leaves listeners with much to ponder. It serves as a deep dive into the complexities and intricacies of a future shaped by AI, identity management, and open-source technologies. Whether you're a business leader, a policymaker, or just a technology enthusiast, this episode offers a well-rounded understanding of the multi-dimensional challenges and opportunities at the intersection of these critical areas.
