SECURITY :closed_lock_with_key:
Last week I had fun hosting the meetup with <@U036PL6AASW>, Lead Developer Advocate at <https://www.tigera.io/|Tigera>. Chris explained how to properly secure *containers, VMs and host-based workloads*. Their OSS project <https://www.tigera.io/project-calico/|Calico> is a great implementation of it.
If you or your team are interested in digging deeper into the nuances of *network security and K8s CNIs*, I definitely encourage you to check this freshly baked recording! <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBYqPBtu5tI>
Also <@U036PL6AASW> agreed to answer any questions today, feel free to drop them here below in a thread :slightly_smiling_face:

:wave: Let's do this :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello <@U036PL6AASW>, an interesting topic you talked about, some great insights about CNI. Thank you for sharing that.
Our company uses the K8s system. Could you specify how Calico can automate compliance monitoring?

Hiya! Thank you. Well, the open source project allows you to build your policies declaratively and to store them alongside the code that they are securing - which is great for compliance. That doesn't really address your point specifically about *monitoring* and *automation* though. The enterprise product has some specific features in those areas, but I want to stick to Open Source here :slightly_smiling_face:
