Mesh Observability with OpenTelemetry P2: Deep Dive

📣 We had so much fun talking Mesh and OpenTelemetry in our last Kong Builders that we decided to give you a special Part 2! Join us on July 5th for a special extra addition of #KongBuilders live. Don't worry! We'll still be back again the last Wednesday of July too in our usual monthly slot! Join your favorite hosts, Viktor Gamov and Danny Freese as they dive even deeper into observability with OpenTelemetry. 📈📋

Bringing Gateway API for Mesh to Kuma

The release of Kuma 2.3 brings experimental support for GAMMA (Gateway API for Mesh Management and Administration) resources. Kuma has long supported Gateway API with the built-in gateway for ingress traffic but with GAMMA support, users can specify how to route and modify in-mesh traffic using the well-known HTTPRoute resource from Gateway API. Gateway API is a project focused on improving the APIs around networking between services in Kubernetes clusters.

Kong Mesh 2.2.0 Certified on Red Hat OpenShift: Why and How to Get Started

By now, when we hear the words “service mesh” we typically know what to expect: service discovery, load balancing, traffic management and routing, security, observability, and resilience. So, why Kong Mesh? What does Kong Mesh offer that would be more difficult to obtain with other solutions? Why is Kong Mesh with Red Hat OpenShift a great pairing? We’re happy to announce that the Kong Mesh 2.2.0 UBI Images are available in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog.

Streamline Service Mesh Observability with Kuma & OpenTelemetry

Getting Started with #ServiceMesh Workshop featuring #Kuma and #KongMesh

Service mesh is the future of application connectivity, offering immediate enhancements to your application traffic’s security, reliability, and observability. It abstracts network complexities, offering discovery, routing, and more functionalities. But you may ask, isn’t all of this already available in our frameworks? In this workshop, you’ll discover just how straightforward it is to get started with service mesh in a Kubernetes environment, and we’re not restricting ourselves to any specific language or framework. We aim to be inclusive, addressing developers from diverse backgrounds.

eBPF: The future of the service mesh and network innovation

The conversations around eBPF and how this technology will shape the future of the service mesh caused a huge buzz in the last year — yes, bee pun intended. eBPF lets you run sandboxed programs in an operating system kernel. Imagining how eBPF could improve the service mesh brings exciting possibilities, but it also raises security and operational concerns given the current state and limitations of eBPF.

Zero-trust security with Kong Mesh

Zero-trust security with Kong Mesh Brought to you by @KongInc Senior Solutions Engineer Ahmed Koshok. In this video, Ahmed explains the core concepts of zero-trust security and demonstrates how Kong Mesh enables you to implement zero-trust security for your microservices. Kong Mesh is a service mesh built on top of the Envoy proxy that provides secure communication between microservices. With Kong Mesh, you can encrypt traffic between services, implement fine-grained access controls, and enforce security policies at the network layer.

Intelligent Load Balancing and Reliability with Kong Mesh
