Standardized logging formats are important for teams that rely on logging for observability, troubleshooting, and workflow integration. Using structured formats simplifies parsing and eliminates the need to interpret fields manually, ensuring consistency across logging formats. This reduces manual work, prevents brittleness from unstructured logs, and simplifies integration between teams that feed logs into a shared aggregation system.

Most load balancers only check a client certificate when the client first connects. However, this can be problematic if a client stays connected for an extended period of time. Staying connected would allow clients to continually send and receive data. Imagine you have an employee whose certificate and key were stolen by an adversary. If you are using TLS client authentication, that adversary can connect to your infrastructure and maintain illegal access.

Tracing follows requests as they move through an entire network, from the initial client request to the final response. In financial services, end-to-end tracing is essential for maintaining robust security, ensuring comprehensive observability of system operations, and understanding chains of events in case of issues or anomalies.

Whether you’re running a service mesh composed of HAProxy instances or facilitating communication between multiple systems, ensuring the authentication of traffic between your services is critical. This zero-trust security model operates under the assumption that you should not extend trust without verification, even within your own systems. By verifying every interaction, you mitigate the risks that arise when third parties imitate your systems.

The popularity of open source software continues to soar alongside growth in cloud usage, including multi-cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructure. Pluralsight's State of Cloud 2023 report revealed that 65% of organizations actively leverage multi-cloud environments. Open source software is prized, in part, because it enables freedom of choice in an organization’s tech stack, especially in complex deployment environments.

The robots.txt file is a time-honored point of control for website publishers to assert whether or not their websites should be crawled by bots of various kinds. However, it turns out that AI crawlers from large language model (LLM) companies often ignore the contents of robots.txt and crawl your site regardless.

There’s no shortage of articles on CI/CD and how to run a configuration validation utility before reloading or restarting a service, but this type of validation is not the same as acceptance testing. Furthermore, these validations don’t always give you (or your leadership team) the confidence to allow you to make big changes to your Production Infrastructure during normal business hours, often preferring to err on the side of caution and scheduling a maintenance window when you might prefer to be in bed.

When it comes to TLS in Kubernetes, the first thing to appreciate when you use the HAProxy Ingress Controller is that all traffic for all services traveling to your Kubernetes cluster passes through HAProxy. Requests are then routed towards the appropriate backend services depending on metadata in the request, such as the Host header. So, by enabling TLS in your ingress controller, you’re adding secure communication to all of your services at once. HAProxy is known for its advanced support of the important performance-oriented features available in TLS.

Performance has never been more important than in a cloud-native world. Cloud-hosted resources cost money and a slow-loading application can cause a suboptimal ROI. Have you taken the time to tune your Kubernetes ingress controller and proxy? Many organizations don't until it's absolutely necessary, and most users will typically run a default, out-of-the-box configuration. In this demo, we benchmark five popular ingress controllers and put them head-to-head against each other with their default configurations.

Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, revamps the way teams manage their Kubernetes resources and allows them to deploy applications in a consistent and reliable way. It is a valuable tool in a continuous delivery pipeline, with support for quick updates and rollbacks. At HAProxy Technologies, we offer Helm as the preferred method for installing the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller, and we’ll show you how to customize that installation to fit your use case.

This presentation will describe how Go and other developers can integrate with HAProxy via the HAProxy Data Plane API and it’s packages. We will explain the motivation behind this new product and provide an overview of how we used the OpenAPI specification, including how models and server stubs are generated using go-swagger. We will delve deeper with describing client-native and config-parser packages and explain how and when to use them, by showing how we use them in our HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller. We will also briefly touch on how you can contribute to these projects.

One of the biggest challenges for organizations that have adopted microservice architecture is the lack of architectural, operational, and organizational standardization. After splitting a monolithic application or building a microservice ecosystem from scratch, many engineers are left wondering what's next. In this practical book, author Susan Fowler presents a set of microservice standards in depth, drawing from her experience standardizing over a thousand microservices at Uber. You'll learn how to design microservices that are stable, reliable, scalable, fault tolerant, performant, monitored, documented, and prepared for any catastrophe.
