Tutorial

Native SSH Reverse Tunneling with Pomerium

Use Pomerium's native SSH support to publish a local service through a standard reverse SSH tunnel, with OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication and continuous authorization on every request. Reach services behind Network Address Translation (NAT) without firewall holes or custom agents, and control both who can use the service and who can open the tunnel. Application traffic stays on infrastructure you control.

Challenge

Split a Deployment Evenly Across Two Zones

A storefront needs eight replicas, and the platform team wants them split down the middle between the two availability zones. An uneven split must be refused by the scheduler rather than quietly tolerated.

Challenge

Exclude a Sidecar from VPA Using Per-Container Resource Policy

Configure a Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA) with a per-container resource policy that provides recommendations for the main container while excluding the sidecar container from any VPA-managed scaling.

Challenge

Create and Assign a Custom PriorityClass to a Workload

Create a PriorityClass for production workloads and patch an existing deployment to use it, ensuring critical services get scheduled first during resource contention.

Challenge

Enable Per-Pod DNS Records for a Deployment

A service in the mesh namespace returns only a single IP during DNS lookup, preventing the peer-server pods from finding each other. Investigate why DNS does not return one address per pod and change the service configuration so that peer discovery works correctly.
