Optimizing for High Availability and Minimal Latency in Distributed Databases with Kubernetes and Calico Cluster Mesh

Efficient connectivity for stateful workloads such as databases across multiple Kubernetes clusters is crucial for effective multi-cluster deployments. The challenge lies in providing seamless communication between services deployed across these clusters. Calico Cluster mesh enhances Kubernetes’ native service discovery, allowing it to function across multiple Kubernetes clusters.

Service mesh and ingress controllers: Bringing the outside world in

The first problem that any cloud-native application has to solve is how to communicate with the world outside the cluster. This is “the ingress problem”, and while service meshes don't have to solve it directly, it is absolutely a major part of successfully getting your application working with one! Join us for a whirlwind tour of how service meshes interact with ingress controllers using the Linkerd service mesh with Emissary-ingress, NGINX, and Envoy Gateway.

Istio Roadmap, Ambient Mesh, and the Service Mesh Landscape: KubeCon 2023 Updates

In the dynamic landscape of microservices and cloud-native architectures, the role of service meshes has become increasingly crucial. These programmable frameworks empower users to seamlessly connect, secure, and observe their microservices, relieving them of the complexities associated with these critical tasks within their applications. Istio, a leading service mesh project, has been at the forefront of this evolution since its inception in 2017.
