Scaling Service Mesh Efficiently for Enterprise Workloads, Environments, and Teams with Tetrate’s Brooklyn Release

Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Tetrate’s Brooklyn release. This marks a major evolution of Tetrate Service Bridge (TSB), a service mesh powered application connectivity platform that enables global enterprises to modernize applications, migrate one or more clouds, achieve zero-trust security, and automate infrastructure resilience. New TSB capabilities will make deploying Istio and Envoy at scale even easier for platform teams, enforcing global policies effortless for security teams, and troubleshooting service mesh workloads self-service for application teams. We’ve also productized best practices and lessons learned from delivering production service mesh for global financial services and federal institutions, so every security-focused organization can benefit from a service mesh without the overhead. In this blog, I will introduce these new TSB capabilities as well as recap relevant recent innovations in Tetrate Istio Distro (TID) and our contributions to open source projects.

If you are already familiar with TSB and want to dive into the technical details, jump straight into the release notes.

If you are new to Tetrate, read on for a comprehensive introduction, and register for the demo webinar to get a closer look.

2022: A Year in Review

2022 has been a busy and exciting year for the Service Mesh industry, and, likewise, for us here at Tetrate. In this post, we’ll take you through what we Tetrands have been up to, what that’s meant for our product, and what we’ve seen in the wider community.

Leading enterprises have traffic security and observability at the top of their app-modernization strategies. 2022 was the year when the value of Service Meshes began to be understood – as the best way to achieve these needs, even in complex and regulated environments.

But adoption is just the start; folks need to be empowered to be successful. When we talk about user success, we often talk about the “three Ps” – Product, People, and Partnerships. These are all vital, and with open-source projects like Istio, Envoy, and more, we’ll add a C: Community.

Tetrate Service Bridge: Golden Gate Release

Centralized governance, local enforcement for your application traffic

We are pleased to announce the general availability of the Golden Gate release of our flagship product, Tetrate Service Bridge (TSB). TSB Golden Gate adds capabilities that enable application developers to define traffic and security controls for all their applications and APIs. Importantly, it adds Web Application Firewall (WAF) and API gateway capabilities to the Envoy data plane and lets application developers and platform owners collaborate on the same platform to configure them properly for their applications, while enabling an end-to-end zero trust implementation. There is an entirely new developer experience for configuring applications and troubleshooting configurations for both personae.

Launching Envoy Fundamentals, a training course to enable faster adoption of Envoy Proxy

Also published on: CNCF

Envoy Proxy, an open-source edge and service proxy, is a vital part of today’s modern, cloud-native application and is used in production by large companies like Booking.com, Pinterest, and Airbnb(Source). Tetrate, a top contributor to Envoy, has developed Envoy Fundamentals, free training with a completion certificate, to help enterprises adopt the technology faster. It will enable DevOps users, SREs, developers, and other community members to learn Envoy easily with concept text, practical labs, and quizzes. Tetrate is also the creator of the popular Istio Fundamentals training course and the open-source project Func-e, which makes it easier to adopt Envoy.

Why You Should Attend the ZTA and DevSecOps Conference with NIST and Tetrate

Tetrate and NIST are hosting their third annual ZTA conference, ZTA and DevSecOps for Cloud Native Applications (virtual), on Wednesday, Jan. 26th (training) and Thursday, Jan. 27th (sessions). The conference provides the most valuable opportunity this year for organizations to gather a practical understanding of how to secure critical infrastructure. You will learn how to put together a ZTA stack for end-user traffic from the ground up.

With the severity of data breaches escalating, including damage to critical US infrastructure, executive orders have been issued, calling for federal agencies to adopt Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). The DevSecOps approach is seen as essential to achieving high operational assurance for microservices-based applications. But many organizations face challenges in implementation. NIST and Tetrate are presenting the third annual edition of this conference to dive deeply into this new architectural model, which yields enhanced security and other benefits. Their work to date has already yielded ZTA standards for cloud-native applications.

Tetrate named 2021 Cool Vendor by Gartner

by JJ and Varun

We are excited to share that Tetrate is recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor in Cloud Computing. When we started Tetrate in 2018, we had the clear vision to productize and simplify application connectivity and security for cloud native apps and workloads. We were able to attract many talented engineers to lead, steer, and contribute to the Istio, Envoy, and Apache SkyWalking projects in open source. We had the right talent and technology ingredients to build a product that could comprehensively address application security, connectivity, observability, and reliability to enable uninterrupted end-user experience. We were all aligned on the product vision.

But from the beginning, we always knew that building a product for enterprise customers requires empathy. We partnered with our early customers to listen, learn, ideate, and iterate on product features and capabilities. We found that the real need was more than just a service mesh. The real need was to bridge legacy and modern, to pave a path to safely modernize. The real need was to bridge on-premises with on-cloud, to pave a path for seamless movement of workloads between them. The real need was to go beyond conventional perimeter security, to be able to secure all applications in a consistent way. These and many more learnings went into building Tetrate Service Bridge. That’s how it gets done at Tetrate, now and forever.

Jeff Bezos said it well,

“We innovate by starting with the customer and working backwards. That becomes the touchstone for how we invent.”

Gartner’s cool vendor recognition is an important milestone and a validation for Tetrate Service Bridge. It’s a milestone but not the destination. There is a lot to do and more to come. Thanks to Gartner for the recognition, and to our customers and partners. You can read the report to learn what Gartner has to say about Tetrate and our product. Our congratulations to the other companies and their products that were recognized as well!

Tetrate now available in AWS Marketplace

For most organizations, modernizing enterprise applications is a journey. During this journey, it’s not uncommon for applications to migrate from datacenters to clouds, VMs to containers, with concerns and requirements spanning from edge to workload and everywhere in between––often all at the same time. Istio, the most widely deployed and de facto standard service mesh, helps enterprises manage application modernization along every step of that journey. And now, Tetrate Istio Subscription (TIS) is available for Amazon customers on the AWS Marketplace, making it the first hardened Istio subscription with enterprise support available there.

EKS is Anywhere and so is Tetrate

Tetrate works with Amazon EKS and EKS Anywhere to bring seamless connectivity and management to Kubernetes applications both on-premises and in the cloud. One of Tetrate’s founding goals is to enable our customers to manage their applications everywhere––from edge to workload, between services and VMs, in datacenters and the cloud––and to do it securely, reliably, and scalably while providing a consistent experience to IT ops and developers across these environments.

That goal aligns perfectly with EKS Anywhere, Amazon’s new Kubernetes offering that reaches beyond AWS. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed compute platform for containers that allows customers to avoid the undifferentiated heavy lifting involved in using roll-your-own Kubernetes to run modern applications on AWS. EKS Anywhere is a new deployment option for Amazon EKS that enables customers to easily create and operate Kubernetes clusters on-premises, including virtual machines (VMs) and bare metal servers. With EKS Anywhere, Amazon offers its customers a consistent Kubernetes experience both on-premises and in the cloud.
