A recent survey by Armo on the use of security software solutions with Kubernetes found that over half of respondents leverage open-source tooling. Companies using open-source tooling use on average 3.6 different tools.
The number of use cases for Kubernetes is expanding as an increasing number of enterprises across a wide array of industries are adopting it as their platform of choice. However, this also expands the enterprise attack surface and business risk as a result.
The fast-paced Kubernetes ecosystem has given rise to multiple tools and concepts that have transformed how organizations deploy and operate applications in cloud environments.
Linkerd's counterpoint: The problem isn't sidecars, it's Envoy. There's another way to reduce critical vulnerabilities at Layer 7 and much of the resource overhead associated with sidecars, according to Linkerd creator and Buoyant CEO William Morgan: Don't use Envoy.
Service mesh has long been considered an essential staple in creating, deploying and managing Kubernetes environments. However, as the community becomes more aware of the threats and challenges associated with managing highly distributed containerized environments, security has emerged as the main benefit of what service mesh offers DevOps teams.
Service mesh vendors are moving to the Kubernetes Gateway API, replacing Ingress with a single API that can be shared for the management of Kubernetes nodes and clusters.

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.
