eBPF is a powerful and flexible technology that has been around for over 30 years, but it’s now gaining popularity within the cloud-native computing ecosystem. eBPF can solve many problems for the service mesh. For instance, it can enhance the service mesh. With its increasing popularity, some have even started asking whether eBPF could replace the service mesh.
A recently released the Cloud Native Computing Foundation survey points to how service mesh is seen as essential for the majority of organizations working with Kubernetes and microservices. At the same time, a survey of readers of The New Stack shows there are indications that service mesh is even becoming boring, or at the very least, a subject that readers are less interested in reading about than they were before.
Istio service mesh is back in the spotlight since joining the CNCF, but the foundation's existing projects are preferred by IT pros focused on multi-cluster Kubernetes resiliency. Enterprise IT pros tasked with shoring up resiliency among Kubernetes multi-cluster and multi-cloud environments favored open source service mesh projects Linkerd and Kuma over Istio.
Buoyant is adding fully managed Linkerd capabilities to Buoyant Cloud, so that developers can treat Linkerd as a managed service even if it is running on their own cluster. Buoyant Cloud can now automate the Linkerd upgrades, rollbacks, installations and trust anchor rotation. The new capabilities aim to make Linkerd easier to use and manage.
Cloud native is driving digital transformation, with organizations keen to capitalize on the agility and flexibility it provides to their business and operations. But as more applications and services are deployed using a diverse technology stack, it has become a challenge to deliver and manage performance and availability.
Buoyant, creator of the open source Linkerd service mesh, has introduced “fully managed” Linkerd functionality to Buoyant Cloud, the company’s cloud-based service mesh management tool. This new feature set allows Linkerd adopters to treat the popular service mesh as a true utility by removing the complexities of maintaining, monitoring and operating Linkerd control plane and data plane components.
Service mesh by definition is supposed to help reduce the complexity associated with Kubernetes. Linkerd, often championed by smaller organizations as the service mesh that is simpler to deploy and manage than other open source alternatives, could become even easier to use with what Buoyant is …
Buoyant today added a service for managing instances of the open source Linkerd service mesh that is based on agent software it has developed. Buoyant CEO William Morgan says that while Linkerd is easier to deploy than other service mesh offerings, there are many organizations that would still …
SAN FRANCISCO, May 4, 2022 — Buoyant, creator of the widely-used open source Linkerd service mesh, today introduced “fully managed” Linkerd functionality to Buoyant Cloud, the company’s cloud-based service mesh management tool. This new feature set allows Linkerd adopters to treat the popular …
Services and clusters will certainly fail on Kubernetes, and all too often, the unfortunate SRE or operations person will get that call in the middle of the night to manually fix it.
