Tetrate this week emerged from stealth to launch what it describes as an enterprise-class implementation of a service mesh based on the open source Istio project.
Linux Journal – Tetrate launched
Tetrate, a new enterprise-grade service mesh from the creators of gRPC and Istio, launched yesterday. Varun Talwar, CEO of Tetrate and formerly co-creator of Istio at Google, says “Tetrate’s mission is to create a secure and flexible application networking layer to help enterprises transition from their decades-old rigid networking stack. Our tools and technologies will help customers with availability and manageability of their applications as they undergo this transformation.” In addition, “Tetrate is launching with $12.5 million in funding from Dell Technologies Capital, as well as from participating investors 8VC, Intel Capital, Rain Capital, and Samsung NEXT.” It also plans to use the funding to “extend its open-source leadership and further contribute to the open-source community”.

DevClass – Oldtimers Dell and Intel show service mesh newbie Tetrate round the enterprise
Since some of the founders are known for their work on central open source projects such as gRPC and Istio, and the company has some of the core Envoy maintainers on board, Dell Technologies Capital, 8VC, Intel Capital, Rain Capital, and Samsung NEXT had no compunction in throwing in $12.5M in funding in to get Tetrate off the ground.
Digirupt.io – Service mesh model gunning for disruption of networking market
As modern software delivery models rely more and more on microservices to break up applications into easily managed bite-sized chunks, the IT networking world stands on a precipice. A new disruptive force called service mesh networking is entering the scene with about the same velocity that container tools like Kubernetes had several years ago. The innovators behind service mesh believe that they will change the face of network performance management and security in very short order.

NAV is responsible for distributing a third of Norway’s national budget. In five years, it’s estimated that 95% of the Norwegian population will be covered by one of NAV’s services.
Multi-Cluster Communication – a Multi-Mesh Approach
By MATT TURNER
Current solutions for cross-cluster networking all use VPNs and a single control plane, with all the failure and latency problems that result. At Tetrate we’ve designed a scheme for using one Istio mesh per cluster to do cross-cluster routing. This post presents an open-source tool, Coddiwomple, which automates generation of the Istio config needed to enact this scheme.
