Why the Gateway API Is the Unified Future of Ingress for Kubernetes and Service Mesh

In this blog, you will learn about the Kubernetes Ingress Gateway, the Gateway API, and the emerging Gateway API trend, which enables the convergence of Kubernetes and service mesh.

Takeaways

  • Ingress, the original gateway for Kubernetes, has a resource model that is too simple to fit into today’s programmable networks.
  • The Gateway API, the latest addition to the Kubernetes portal gateway, separates concerns through role delineation and provides cross-namespace support to make it more adaptable to multi-cloud environments. Most API gateways already support it.
  • The Gateway API provides a new reference model for the convergence of ingress gateways (north-south) and service mesh (east-west, cross-cluster routing), where there is a partial functional overlap.

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.

Building HA microservice with Istio service mesh

Building highly available (HA) and resilient microservices using Istio Service Mesh

What is High Availability in microservices

High availability systems are designed to provide continuous and uninterrupted service to the end customer by using redundant software performing similar functions. In highly available microservices, all the hosts must point to the same storage. So, in case of failure of one host, the workload in one host can failover to another host without downtime. The redundant software can be installed in another virtual machine (VM), or Kubernetes clusters in multicloud or hybrid cloud.

Using Istio service mesh as API Gateway

API gateways have been around for a long time as the entry point for clients to access the back-end, mainly to manage “north-south” traffic, In recent years, service mesh architectures have become popular, mainly for managing internal systems,(i.e. “east-west” traffic), while a service mesh like Istio also has built-in gateways that bring traffic inside and outside the system under unified control. This often creates confusion for first-time users of Istio. What is the relationship between the service mesh and the API gateway? How does Istio’s gateway work? What are the ways to expose the services in the Istio mesh? This article gives you the answer.
