Service mesh is redefining the way we think about security, reliability, and observability when it comes to service-to-service communication. In a previous blog post about service mesh, we took a deep dive into our definition of this new pattern for inter-service communication. Today, we’re going to take you through how to use Istio, an open source cloud native service mesh for connecting and securing east-west traffic.

Since the release of Talend 7.1 users can build Talend jobs as Docker images and publish them to Docker registries. In this blog post, I am going to run through the steps to publish to the major cloud provider container registries (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud). Before I dig into publishing container images to registries, I am going to remind you the basics of building Talend Jobs in Docker images from Talend Studio as well as point out the difference between a local build and a remote build.

Kubernetes is fundamentally changing container orchestration; is your stack ready to support it at scale? Watch the talk recording to learn how Kong’s Kubernetes Ingress Controller can power-drive your APIs and microservices on top of the Kubernetes platform. Hear Kong engineers walk through the process of setting up the Ingress controller and review its various features.

In my last blog I described how to achieve continuous integration, delivery and deployment of Talend Jobs into Docker containers with Maven and Jenkins. This is a good start for reliably building your containerized jobs, but the journey doesn't end there. The next step to go further with containerized jobs is scheduling, orchestrating and monitoring them.

Today, Docker or Kubernetes are obvious choices. But, back in 2015, these technologies were just emerging and hoping for massive adoption. How do tech companies make the right open source technology choices early?
