details

Kubernetes is an open source platform, which orchestrates containerized applications, simplifying scaling, deployment, and management. K8s streamlines the deployment and scaling of applications, ensuring high availability and efficient resource utilization in modern cloud-native environments.

API endpoint discovery in a service mesh

In this article, we will build a sample service to see how to process logs in a Service Mesh and what information we can get from them.

A guide to using OpenTelemetry Operator for Kubernetes

Observability is a key part of modern cloud computing. OpenTelemetry helps by automatically keeping track of how different parts of your system communicate. Think of it like a dashboard for all your microservices. One standout feature? Auto-instrumentation. It does a lot of the setup work for you. But how do you use OpenTelemetry in Kubernetes? That's where the OpenTelemetry Operator comes in.

Why your company should use Kubernetes

The software development industry, just like any other, is very susceptible to trends. When you hear about a certain tool or technology all the time, it is natural to start wondering if you need to quickly catch up and use that trendy thing as well. Kubernetes is something everyone seems to be talking about, but does your company really need it? And if yes, then why? Let’s try to find some answers to these fundamental questions. In order to understand what Kubernetes is and what it can help you with, let’s first take a look at containers.

Why service mesh matters: understanding the benefits of microservices networking

Building applications as distributed systems, especially with microservices architecture, is quickly becoming the new norm of software development. Microservices, when used in the right situation, can ensure that your application will be easy to scale, update, and fix. If you aim to create a cloud-native app, then microservices are typically your best choice. However, when you start looking into distributed applications, one potential problem stands out, and that is the issue of communication between the multiple services in your application.

From Kubernetes Ingress to Kubernetes Gateway API

If you've ever touched on application networking in Kubernetes, it's more than likely you've come across Ingress. However, it is worth knowing that Ingress has a worthy successor in the form of Kubernetes’ Gateway API. If you want to get familiar with this new API, this article is what you need. Ingress is a Kubernetes API object that has been widely used for many years. It allows you to handle traffic entering the Kubernetes cluster from outside and to route it to multiple Services running in the cluster.

Service mesh vs. Kubernetes Ingress — what is the difference?

Service mesh and Ingress are two solutions used in the area of ​​application networking in Kubernetes. In this article you will see what characterizes each of them and understand where the real difference between them is. A service mesh is a kind of special “system” for communication between applications, different components of an application based on microservices architecture, or between various other workloads running in virtual environments, such as Kubernetes. The solution provides a rich set of features in the fields of traffic management, reliability, resilience, security, and observability.

What is a service mesh — everything you need to know

A service mesh is an increasingly popular solution in the area of ​​application networking, in Kubernetes and other environments. If you are still not familiar with the concept, in this article you will find everything you need to know before taking a deeper dive. Over the past few years, we have seen a shift away from approaches based on monolithic code when designing software applications. Instead, modern design is based on microservices architecture. At the end of the day, it is about delivering basically the same business logic, not in the form of a large monolith but as a collection of loosely coupled and independently deployable services.

Is Network Service Mesh a service mesh?

Service mesh solutions are increasingly becoming an important element of modern applications built on the basis of microservices architecture. But here and there, you can also hear about a project called Network Service Mesh. Is it another variation on the service mesh theme or something completely different? A service mesh is a kind of “network” that connects all microservices within a given application. In fact, it is extra software that acts as an intermediary layer between services and provides a wide range of functions in the fields of security, observability, and traffic management, as well as reliability and resilience.

Harnessing the power of Kubernetes: 7 use cases

According to The 2021 Kubernetes Adoption Report, 68% of respondents claim that their usage of K8s increased due to the recent (pandemic) crisis. The main reasons for choosing this container orchestration tool were cost reduction, increased automation, and more frequent deployments. In this article, you will find practical examples of how else Kubernetes can benefit your projects (and, of course, your company). The first case where you can make use of Kubernetes may seem controversial, but still is very useful.

How to build CNFs using Ligato framework

Cloud native network functions (CNFs) are a hot topic today. In this blog post, I will take a stab at explaining why and also present the Ligato framework, which allows you to build your custom CNFs. We started talking about Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) a few years ago when the concept of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) appeared. In short, it is that network functions can be deployed as virtual machines (VMs) instead of being delivered on dedicated hardware offered by vendors. Over time, telco operators and service providers launched their first field trials and then roll-outs of network functions based on this paradigm.
