Understanding eBPF in Sevice Mesh with Ahmed
Why have we not created a service mesh in the kernel before? Some people have been semi-jokingly stating that kube-proxy is the original service mesh. However, it is not enough. So what's next? Since eBPF code can be inserted at runtime into an existing Linux kernel similar to a Linux kernel module, but unlike a kernel module, it can be done in a secure and portable manner. This allows for eBPF implementation to continue to evolve with the service mesh community.
Hybrid Infrastructure Load Balancing with Kong Gateway and Kong Mesh
Kong’s Wanny Morellato and Deepak Mohandas recently joined Justin and Autumn on the ShipIt podcast to talk hybrid infrastructure with Kong Gateway and Kong Mesh. They unravel the complexities of hybrid infrastructure at scale, discussing the processes, strategies, and philosophies that drive continuous delivery, infrastructure as code, and more.
Kong Mesh 2.6: More Flexibility, Usability, and Security
The first release of Kong Mesh for 2024 (version 2.6) brings many new features that ease day 0 for new starters of service mesh reinforcing our goal of making a simple yet powerful product! In this blog, we'll break down these new features and provide tailored use cases to illustrate how Kong Mesh 2.6 can elevate your service mesh experience. We'll focus on three main categories: flexibility, usability, and security.
Day 0 Service Mesh: A Simplified Approach for Building Microservices
The acceleration of microservices and containerized workloads has revolutionized software delivery at scale. However, these distributed architectures also introduce significant complexity around networking, security, and observability. As development teams grappled with reliability and governance issues, the service mesh pattern emerged to simplify management.
7 Signs You Need a Service Mesh
In the ever-evolving landscape of modern applications and cloud native architectures, the need for efficient, scalable, and secure communication between services is paramount. Enter the service mesh — a versatile platform designed to address various challenges in securing, connecting, and observing microservices. In this post, we’ll cover seven signs that indicate it may be time for your organization to adopt a service mesh.
EBPF, Service Mesh And Sidecar
The operating system is like the boss of your computer, handling security, networking, and keeping an eye on what’s happening. But tweaking or improving the core part of the operating system, called the kernel, is a bit tricky because it’s mainly focused on keeping things stable and secure. Most cool new stuff usually happens outside the core system, in what we call the user space. That’s where people add extra features or functions.
Multi-Cluster Failover and Observability with Kong Mesh
Kong Mesh is an enterprise-grade service mesh built on top of Kuma, an open-source CNCF project. Kong Mesh provides traffic control, observability, and security for complex microservices architectures.
