Building an Istio Service Mesh Across Anthos GKE and GKE On-Prem
29 Oct 2019 | ~8 minutes | Comments |
Tim Fairweather
It’s tough to browse much of today’s microservices landscape without stumbling upon or thinking about a service mesh. Istio brings service mesh, service discovery, and visibility to microservices architectures which of course includes Kubernetes. During a recent event I built a demo showcasing an Istio-based service mesh that stretches across two different environments leveraging nothing but Istio Ingress Gateway services in GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) and GKE On-Prem (Google’s new On-Premise offering).

Securing the existing Enterprise network between Virtual Machines and Containers with Aporeto
23 Oct 2019 | ~12 minutes | Comments |
Shea Stewart
While organizations refactor their applications and containerize new components, not all components of the application may make it into the container platform. These new components often need to connect to other non-containerized systems (such as databases) and require the same (or higher) security controls and network visibility. This blog identifies how to layer the zero-trust network solution provided by Aporeto on top of existing Enterprise networks and adding additional security layers without replacing existing infrastructure or processes.

Simple GKE Cost Optimization with Preemptible Nodes
05 Sep 2019 | ~3 minutes | Comments |
Marc LeBlanc
Google has done a great job making it easy for people to build and deploy GKE clusters. With a few clicks or lines of terraform code, you can deploy clusters of virtually any size, in any region, across regions, etc., with almost as many options for sizing the nodes the cluster runs on. At some point, if not right up front, the discussion always turns to cost optimization

Simple by design; Automating per-namespace isolation with Aporeto and OpenShift
14 Aug 2019 | ~14 minutes | Comments |
Jeff Kelly
A zero trust network security policy has the capability to describe network communication at a very fine level of detail, which will also drastically increase the quantity of policy information generated. Managing and maintaining that level of detail can quickly become overwhelming. Aporeto's grouping and labeling of objects, as well as its ability to leverage OpenShift labels as grouping identifiers, allows policies that can encompass a fine level of detail and still be human readable.

Arctiq recently hosted an event with Google and Sysdig in Toronto titled "Navigating Anthos - a Focus on Hybrid Cloud Visibility". At the event we provided a deep dive into the Anthos toolkit including various use cases we are hearing about from customers and our eco-system.

Jenkins is one of the most popular CI & CD tools used in the OSS community and is very flexible, yet cumbersome and not without its own frustrations. It is also the defacto CI & CD tool within OpenShift. Many people, however, are looking for alternatives. This blog takes a look at how to run GoCD (from ThoughtWorks) on OpenShift as a potential alternative to Jenkins.

Automation and code-driven infrastructure provides massive flexibility to development teams. On-demand deployment of kubernetes clusters can speed up test and development time, but can also be difficult to mange. Config Management, a part of Google Anthos, and Aqua Security can be combined to centrally control on-demand ephemeral infrastructure.
