January Recap & Scaling Cilium to New Heights

Thanks for reading Glooy News! At Solo.io, we are excited about the Cilium project, which introduced innovations to container and cloud-native networking by leveraging eBPF in its data plane for programmability, performance, and observability. The Cilium control plane, which configures the data plane, has some room for improvement for large, scaled-out environments. To help push Cilium to new heights, we have been working with others in the Cilium community to use xDS to drive control-plane improvements in Cilium.

Check it out as we explore the current Cilium control-plane design, where and why limitations may arise for large deployments, and how the community could advance this architecture using the CNCF universal data plane (xDS) APIs.

Hands-On with the Kubernetes Gateway API: A 45-Minute Workshop and Guided Tour

Kubernetes continues to revolutionize the way we deploy and manage applications, with the recent release of Gateway API representing a significant leap forward in simplifying and enhancing the management of networking within Kubernetes clusters. We’ll walk you through an exercise in a hosted environment, with no need to install anything on your workstation or Kubernetes clusters. You’ll be equipped with the knowledge to use Gateway API for external connectivity.

Tracking the Golden Signals for Istio’s Control Plane

The four golden signals – latency, traffic, errors, and saturation (aka the four horsemen of your site outage) – are generally considered to be the way to observe and detect problems in your infrastructure as an SRE. Istio is no different, and out of the box there are a few things you should be observing to fulfill those metrics.

Platform Engineering Essential Tools

Platform engineering is about making it easier for developers to get their code into production. Instead of having to learn complex infrastructure details, developers can focus on writing code and let platform engineers build a platform that takes care of the rest. To enjoy the benefits of Platform Engineering here is your list of tools.
