Product In-Depth: Magalix Integrations

Magalix's powerful policy enforcement platform allows organizations to embed security and compliance as code in their infrastructure by using policies as guardrails.  Organizations can integrate the platform into their DevOps workflows, to detect and prevent any violating entities from getting into your infrastructure, as well as to get notified whenever a violation occurs.

Let’s take a look at all the integrations possible with the Magalix platform.

Cloud Providers

A powerful advantage of cloud-native is that applications are built natively for the cloud. That means it doesn’t matter where your “Cloud” is. You can run Kubernetes anywhere, and even have it managed as a service. The choice is yours. Regardless of where or how your Kubernetes is managed, configuring Kubernetes and the applications it hosts will be the same. From our experience, those configurations out of the box aren’t secure.

Magalix integrates with Kubernetes, so regardless of your Cloud Service Provider, we provide a single management console that allows you to view your security posture from every cluster in your fleet. It’s within our Management Console that administrators, security engineers, and Kubernetes operators can enable, disable, configure and customize policies and where they are enforced.

Magalix supports the following Cloud Providers:

• Google Cloud.
• AWS.
• Azure.
• IBM.
• Oracle.
• Digital Ocean.

CI/CD Tools

In today’s modern and high throughput development environment, it’s not the tools that matter, but how those tools can enable rapid delivery. In today’s SaaS era, one tool’s unique feature may be the difference between using their solution or another’s. Everyone has their preferred tool. If we also consider the availability of awesome open-source software projects, it’s safe to say that no two organizations’ build and release pipeline will look exactly the same.

The advantage here is that you can pick and choose the solutions of your choice. The tradeoff is that you might need to implement a solution the “vendor’s” way, leading to potential lock-in. That’s a choice you’ll need to make and there isn’t a right or wrong way. At Magalix, we anticipate your unique set of tools and rules, and have designed our solution to integrate with all modern open-source and commercial CI/CD solutions with ease.

In your existing build and deployment jobs, add a step to run a command-line utility or an open-source container to check the code for violations against an enforced Policy. Depending on the outcome of that step, you can have your job exit and inform the developer or release manager immediately of the issue. Using this pattern maintains the rapid feedback agility accredited to DevOps, while enforcing security in an automated way.

Magalix integrates with the following CI / CD solutions:

• Circle CI.
• Jenkins.
• Travis CI.
• GitLab.
• Bamboo.
• CodeFresh.
• TeamCity.
• Shell scripts.
• And more...

Workflow Tools

Much like the modular nature of your build and release tools, open-source and commercial Workflow tools and their integrations allow the freedom to pick and choose the solution that best fits your requirements. We can only guess what combinations of triggers, teams, and systems work best for you so in anticipation of your unique end to end, we provide integration with the most popular Workflow tools, such as Slack, Jira, and PagerDuty, as well as custom integrations. Our outbound event notifier can be filtered to send events of a particular interest to a specific location.

Magalix supports native integrations with the following tools:

• Slack.
• Jira.
• PagerDuty.
• Grafana.
