By Thalassa Cloud

We’re announcing two new Kubernetes releases in Thalassa Cloud: v1.34.2-0 and v1.33.6-0. These releases include security fixes that address high-severity vulnerabilities in runc, along with important component updates and stability improvements. Critical Security Fixes Both releases include runc 1.3.3, which fixes three high-severity security vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-31133 CVE-2025-52565 CVE-2025-52881 These vulnerabilities could allow full container breakouts by bypassing runc’s restrictions for writing to arbitrary /proc files. We recommend upgrading your clusters to these versions as soon as possible to mitigate these security risks.

Introducing VPC Peering on Thalassa Cloud

We are excited to announce the availability of VPC Peering on Thalassa Cloud. This feature lets you connect Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) securely though our private network, enabling private network communication between VPCs without using the public internet or Site-to-Sites. It works across organisation accounts. Private Network Connections VPC Peering creates a direct network connection between two VPCs. Traffic between peered VPCs stays on the private network and never touches the public internet, providing secure, low-latency communication between your VPCs.

Introducing Service Accounts in Thalassa Cloud

Service accounts are non‑human identities designed for automated systems, applications, and integrations. In Thalassa Cloud, they are organisation‑level principals with their own roles and one or more access credentials. Use them for CI/CD pipelines, controllers, monitoring, provisioning, or any workload that needs programmatic access. Service accounts separate machine access from human users, enabling least‑privilege policies, independent credential rotation, and clean audit trails. Each service account can hold multiple credentials, so you can rotate keys with zero downtime.

Pod Security Standards: Practical Hardening for Kubernetes

Pod Security Standards (PSS) are a low‑friction way to harden clusters by default. With Pod Security Admission (PSA), you can enforce least‑privilege at the namespace level and prevent risky pods from ever being created. It’s simple, auditable, and fits cleanly into GitOps. Improving your security posture Implementing Pod Security Standards is crucial as it helps reduce the blast radius by blocking privilege escalation and host-level access. It allows teams to catch misconfigurations early during the admission phase rather than after deployments, ensuring issues are addressed promptly.

VPC‑Only Access for Kubernetes Clusters

We’ve added support for VPC‑only access to Kubernetes control planes. When enabled, the cluster’s public API endpoint is disabled and the Kubernetes API is reachable only from within your Virtual Private Cloud. This helps teams meet stricter security and compliance requirements without sacrificing operational access. VPC-only access is valuable for DevOps teams because it boosts security by removing the internet-facing API endpoint, which reduces the attack surface. It also makes network rules and identity limits clearer by using your VPC as the boundary.

Kubernetes v1.33.4-0 and v1.32.8-0: Security Fixes and Component Updates

We’re excited to announce the release of two new Kubernetes versions in Thalassa Cloud: v1.33.4-0 and v1.32.8-0. These releases bring security fixes, component updates, and enhanced stability for your Kubernetes workloads. Security Fixes Both releases address a medium security vulnerability: CVE-2025-5187: Nodes can delete themselves by adding an OwnerReference A vulnerability exists in the NodeRestriction admission controller where node users can delete their corresponding node object by patching themselves with an OwnerReference to a cluster-scoped resource.

Building KMS and Secret Manager for the Dutch Cloud

We’re excited to announce that we’re building Key Management Service (KMS) and Secret Manager for Thalassa Cloud. These security services will provide the foundation for secure application development on our Dutch public cloud platform. Why We’re Building These Services Modern cloud-native applications need more than just basic infrastructure. They require robust security & Encryption services that integrate seamlessly with your development workflow. While we already offer IaaS, Kubernetes as a Service and databases, we’re expanding our platform to include the fine graind encryption services.
