Event Driven and Cloud Native Systems: Solving the interoperability puzzle

CloudEvents is a CNCF backed specification for describing event data in a common way that makes sense for enterprises. In this Meetup, Rajesh Iyer will deep dive into this new spec and looks into how CloudEvents can simplify event declaration and delivery across services, platforms, and beyond. He will also look into some of the… Continue reading Event Driven and Cloud Native Systems: Solving the interoperability puzzle

Not Your Grandma Gossip: Node Failure Detection at Scale

Several distributed protocols are predicated on a large number of nodes relying on each other to complete transactions; for example, highly durable persistence storage depends on data being replicated several times across nodes: while this improves the system’s resilience to failure, it impacts latency and throughput – crashed (or, possibly worse, slow-responding) nodes have a… Continue reading Not Your Grandma Gossip: Node Failure Detection at Scale

MOVING TO THE CLOUD – Unlearning Modern Techniques

In the times during and after the pandemic, technology is driving change. Businesses are forced to reinvent themselves to be relevant. Cloud-native technologies make scaling easier, deployments faster, and computing costs lower. In this meetup, Kevin Hoffman, Distinguished Engineer from Capital One, shares stories on how organizations moved their workloads into the cloud-native landscape and… Continue reading MOVING TO THE CLOUD – Unlearning Modern Techniques

OPA, Styra and Terraform: protect your cloud

Introduction to Styra DAS: Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS), built on top of the open-source project Open Policy Agent (OPA), provides a single pane of glass for authorization and policy across the cloud-native ecosystem of software systems. Using the DAS allows you to use a single language for expressing policy and a single software system… Continue reading OPA, Styra and Terraform: protect your cloud

Integration of Envoy with OPA and Styra DAS

In this blog, you will learn how to add a policy in Styra DAS to Integrate Envoy with OPA and Styra. OPA (Open Policy Agent): The Open Policy Agent (OPA, pronounced “oh-pa”) is an open-source, general-purpose policy engine that unifies policy enforcement across the stack. You can use OPA to enforce policies in microservices, Kubernetes,… Continue reading Integration of Envoy with OPA and Styra DAS

Integrating Kubernetes with Styra DAS – Enforcing users to create pods in the default namespace.

In this article, you will learn how to enforce users to create pods by default Kubernetes namespace using OPA and Styra DAS. Pre-requisites: Styra-DAS Account (You can sign-up and create a free Styra DAS account here) Kubernetes cluster (You can create a Kubernetes cluster using K3D) Steps for creating cluster: For creating a Kubernetes cluster in k3d,… Continue reading Integrating Kubernetes with Styra DAS – Enforcing users to create pods in the default namespace.

Integrate OPA (Open Policy Agent) with Istio & Styra DAS

In this blog, you will learn how OPA embedded in the Istio data plane can be used as an authorization service to enforce security policies over API requests received by Istio. What is Istio? Istio is an open-source service mesh that layers transparently onto existing distributed applications. Istio’s powerful features provide a uniform and more… Continue reading Integrate OPA (Open Policy Agent) with Istio & Styra DAS

Integrating Kong Mesh with Styra DAS

In this blog, you will learn how to add a policy in Styra DAS to Integrate Kong Mesh With Styra DAS. What Is Kong Mesh? Kong Mesh is an enterprise-grade service mesh that runs on both Kubernetes and VMs on any cloud. Built on top of CNCF’s Kuma and Envoy and focused on simplicity, Kong Mesh enables the… Continue reading Integrating Kong Mesh with Styra DAS

Styra DAS, OPA, and Envoy Integration Give You Fine-Grained Access Control Over Microservice API Authorization.

What is Envoy? Envoy is an L7 proxy and communication bus designed for large modern service-oriented architectures. Envoy supports an External Authorization filter which calls an authorization service to check if the incoming request is authorized or not. This feature makes it possible to delegate authorization decisions to an external service and makes the request context… Continue reading Styra DAS, OPA, and Envoy Integration Give You Fine-Grained Access Control Over Microservice API Authorization.

OPA to Integrate with Kubernetes Admission Control → Ingresses: Restrict Hostnames

What Is OPA? It is a project that started in 2016 to unify policy enforcement across different technologies and systems. Today, OPA is used by giant players within the tech industry. For example, Netflix uses OPA to control its internal API resources. Chef uses it to provide IAM capabilities in their end-user products. In addition,… Continue reading OPA to Integrate with Kubernetes Admission Control → Ingresses: Restrict Hostnames
