One big benefit of using a declarative configuration approach, or “configuration as data” as Kelsey Hightower says, is understanding the intent of the desired end state of a system. Declarative configuration becomes a contract between users/tools and makes it easy to understand whether the system is in the desired state or not. Kubernetes is an […]

Introduction to Knative and Istio (Click to view this post on GitHub) Serverless functions and service mesh are two popular cloud-native technologies that customers are exploring how to create value from. Knative and Istio respectively are the prominent open source communities surrounding these two spaces. As we dive deeper into each of these solutions with our customers, […]

How long does it take to getting started with Amazon EKS Anywhere, Istio, and Gloo Mesh?  Assuming you already have the Kubernetes clusters, it will take you 15 minutes to configure secure and seamless global failover of your services from EKS Anywhere (EKS-A) to traditional EKS in the AWS cloud. Pre-requisites 1. An EKS-A cluster, […]

This 7-minute read is meant to be primer for developers, operators, and anyone curious about Istio service mesh. Istio basics To answer the question “what is Istio?”, we need to establish some context first. Modern applications are often composed of microservices that run in containers distributed on-premises and in the cloud. As they are decomposed […]

Let us burst a myth and explore how we can set up an Envoy Proxy API Gateway with Gloo Edge in a hybrid cloud infrastructure with Amazon EKS Anywhere (EKS-A) and connect an AWS Lambda function using Gloo Edge. The myth is that API Gateways are for cloud or can only with be used with […]

This blog will cover popular use cases and describe how to set up Amazon EKS Anywhere (EKS-A) and an Istio service mesh with Solo.io’s Gloo Mesh. Hybrid cloud refers to the unification of public cloud and on-premises infrastructure. Leveraging compute environments across both environments allows you take advantage of the cost-effective scalability of public cloud […]

Amazon EKS Anywhere provides a new deployment option that enables users to easily create and operate Kubernetes clusters on-premises, while also connecting VMs and bare metal. Amazon EKS Anywhere opens up possibilities for a bunch of hybrid cloud use cases such as workload migration from on-premises to public cloud, application modernization, bursting, and data sovereignty. […]

At Solo.io, we work with customers with the largest deployments of Istio in the world where cross-cluster or multi-cluster mesh solves a lot of problems for them. As Istio continues to mature and expand into multi-cluster architectures, many have looked to how they can more effectively manage their Istio deployments. In this blog, we explore […]

(This content was originally published on the Grafana blog.) “How am I supposed to debug this?” Just imagine: Late Friday, you are about to shut down your laptop and an issue comes up. Warnings, alerts, red colors. Everything that we, developers, hate the most. The architect decided to develop that system based on microservices. Hundreds […]

Since it’s a popular customer question, today we want to show you how to automate provisioning of a Gloo Edge API Gateway on Kubernetes, so we turned to GitOps. If you want to jump straight to it, the Solo.io blog Github repo contains step by step information to setup your first Gloo Edge provisioning via […]

Join the Solo.io team at ServiceMeshCon North America 2021! ServiceMeshCon is co-located with KubeCon and is the largest, most influential event in the service mesh industry. This year’s hybrid event will be held in Los Angeles, CA, and virtually on Tuesday, October 12, 2021, during KubeCon + CouldNativeCon North America 2021. If you have not […]

Gloo Mesh Gateway is a full-featured API gateway, built on Istio, for managing North-South traffic to Kubernetes, VMs, and serverless functions. Gloo Mesh Gateway provides a unified, global control plane for both edge and service mesh use cases. It reduces complexity, increases security, increases reliability, and increases observability for consistent applications and microservices connectivity. It […]
