Finalizer
Glossary Page
Finalizers are keys that you can add to Kubernetes objects to instruct the system to wait until certain conditions are met before deleting the objects. They are used to ensure that the objects are cleaned up correctly and that any dependent resources are also deleted. When you delete an object with finalizers, Kubernetes marks the object for deletion and enters a terminating state. The control plane and other components then execute any actions defined by the finalizers. Once these actions are complete, the finalizers are removed, and Kubernetes deletes the object. Finalizers are useful for controlling the garbage collection of resources, allowing you to clean up related resources or infrastructure before deleting the target resource.

Our Content Management System (CMS) became an attack target
When our CMS became the target of a large-scale DDoS attack, it triggered a real-world stress test of our cloud infrastructure. From saturated load balancers and 100% CPU utilization to emergency mitigation measures, this incident challenged our resilience. By rapidly implementing AWS CloudFront, AWS WAF, and a secure edge-based protection model, we successfully stabilized the system and prevented further disruption. A follow-up attack confirmed the effectiveness of the new architecture, demonstrating how proactive security design and strong collaboration ensure service continuity and long-term resilience.
