Emily Freeman, the highly respected author of “DevOps for Dummies” and head of DevOps product marketing at AWS, recently introduced a revolutionary model for DevOps to replace the traditional software development lifecycle (SDLC). Her argument is that, in the era of cloud-native applications, there is additional chaos introduced across the software lifecycle, and therefore the […]

This blog originally appeared on The New Stack. As of writing this blog, Istio is about to unveil its 1.11 version, so it’s a good time for us to talk about a method for upgrading Istio without downtime. If you have been working with Istio for some time and have it deployed to your environments, […]

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 […]
