Drubernetes v3: Replacing Nginx Ingress with Envoy Gateway

As part of contributing back to the open-source community, we maintain a Terraform module (on the Terraform Registry) for managing a Drupal site in Kubernetes. And we’re always making it more stable, both for our platform, and everyone else. This release marks a significant architectural improvement: the transition from Nginx Ingress to Envoy Gateway as the default Kubernetes ingress solution. Over the years, Nginx Ingress has served the community well, but it has now reached end of support and deprecation in the upstream ecosystem.

Announcing Drubernetes v2: Moving from Bitnami to the Official MariaDB Operator

Summary Bitnami’s licensing and support changes have made its once-free Helm charts unsustainable for open-source projects. In response, Drubernetes, the Terraform module for running Drupal on Kubernetes, has replaced Bitnami’s MariaDB chart with the official MariaDB operator in its 2.0.0 release to ensure continued open-source compatibility, security, and portability. This release requires a few migration steps, including backing up your current Drupal database (DB), applying the latest Drubernetes code to your infrastructure, and then restoring your DB, which will bring you a cleaner, more future-proof architecture.

Extortion and ransomware drive over half of cyberattacks

Microsoft launches its sixth annual Digital Defense Report, highlighting trends from July 2024 to June 2025, including that over half of cyberattacks with known motives were driven by extortion or ransomware. The report stresses that legacy security is insufficient—modern AI-driven defenses and cross-industry collaboration are essential. For individuals, strong tools like phishing-resistant MFA can block over 99% of identity-based attacks.

Want to Run Drupal in Kubernetes? Try Our New Terraform Module

Background Our customer dashboard, which will soon be used for managing subscriptions to our backup service (and not just newsletters and our contact form, as we’re doing now), is built on the Drupal data management framework. Until now, we’ve been hosting it with a company that specializes in hosting very specific types of applications, like Drupal. This wasn’t working for us because our service is running in our Kubernetes cluster at a cloud service provider that specializes in managed Kubernetes hosting, which let’s us run whatever applications we want, and configure them however we need.

Is there a reputable non-US 2FA authenticator app and/or is it better to use a security key?

Didn't feel right voting because:

3 is flat out wrong: encryption is necessary but not sufficient; if you lose access, encryption is moot, therefore:
rule out 1 and 2: no one location is a guarantee of access.
4: so uncheckable it hurts.

I think the restriction of the poll format hasn't been helpful.
