In the previous posts, we covered how Gloo Mesh (previous known as Service Mesh Hub) makes it easy to federate the identity across clusters to allow cross-cluster communication, failover and access control based on policies. RBAC in Kubernetes In large organizations, several teams are using the same Kubernetes cluster. They use Kubernetes RBAC to define who can […]

Service Mesh Hub is a Kubernetes-native management plane that enables configuration and operational management of multiple clusters of the same service meshes and multiple clusters of heterogeneous service meshes through a unified API. Since the 0.7.2 release in September we’ve shipped more features and fixes leading to the latest release, version 0.9.1 New Features in […]

In this blog series, we will dig into specific challenge areas for multi-cluster Kubernetes and service mesh architecture, considerations and approaches in solving them. In a previous blog post we covered Identity Federation for Multi-Cluster Kubernetes and Service Mesh which is the foundation for multi-cluster global access control. We explained how to setup each Istio cluster with a different […]

Security is an evergreen requirement for any system, and in recent years, the concept of Zero Trust has gained in popularity as a different security model to protect organizations and their IT portfolio from the increasing business risk of security incidents. Traditional security practices and tools are designed to secure the perimeter and by default […]

In this blog series, we will dig into specific challenge areas for multi-cluster Kubernetes and service mesh architecture, considerations and approaches in solving them. The previous blog post covered Identity Federation for Multi-Cluster Kubernetes and Service Mesh which is the foundation for cross-cluster service communication. Istio is the most popular Service Mesh technology and is designed to handle […]

In this blog series, we will dig into specific challenge areas for multi-cluster Kubernetes and service mesh architecture, considerations and approaches in solving them. The previous blog posts focused on aspects of Failover and Fallback routing from a service mesh perspective and in comparison (and combined with) multi-cluster API gateway instances. In this blog post we start looking at […]

In this blog series, we will dig into specific challenge areas for multi-cluster Kubernetes and service mesh architecture, considerations and approaches in solving them. The previous blog post covered Multi-Cluster Service Mesh Failover and Fallback Routing as failover routing is one of the many reasons organizations look to adopt service mesh in addition to service to service communication, tracing, […]

In this blog series, we will dig into specific challenge areas for multi-cluster Kubernetes and service mesh architecture, considerations and approaches in solving them. In our first post, we looked at service discovery and in this post we’ll look at failover and fallback routing across multiple clusters.  What is failover and fallback routing? When building […]

Service Mesh Hub is a Kubernetes-native management plane that enables configuration and operational management of multiple clusters of the same service meshes and multiple clusters of heterogeneous service meshes through a unified API. Since its open sourcing in spring of this year, we’ve been working hard with the community and ecosystem to make Service Mesh Hub […]

The latest release of Istio service mesh is now available. With version 1.7, the community continues to push along in the direction of improving usability, security, and reliability. At Solo.io, we build application networking solutions including; Service Mesh Hub to manage multi-cluster Istio environments and the Developer Portal to catalog, expose, and manage running APIs […]

Last week, Microsoft Azure announced a new open-source project called Open Service Mesh. OSM is a new service-mesh implementation based on Envoy Proxy (yay!) that implements the Service Mesh Interface (SMI). SMI, as you’ll recall, is heavily inspired from our service-mesh abstraction vision that we predicted back in November 2018. Solo.io Service Mesh Hub is […]

Service Mesh Hub is a Kubernetes-native management plane that enables configuration and operational management of multiple heterogeneous service meshes across multiple clusters through a unified API. In April, we open-sourced Service Mesh Hub v0.4.4 and since then we’ve introduced new features, fixed bugs, and kicked off community calls to discuss the roadmap and proposals. In […]
