OPA can be used for several purposes:🔹 Authorization of REST API endpoints.🔹 Allowing or denying Terraform changes based on compliance or safety rules.🔹 Integrating custom authorization logic… Continue reading Open Policy Agent: What Is OPA and How It Works (Examples)

The Evolution of Distributed Systems on Kubernetes

Future distributed systems on Kubernetes will be composed of multiple runtimes. The business logic forms the application’s core, and sidecar “mecha” components offer robust out-of-the-box distributed primitives. What about what comes after microservices? According to Bilgin Ibryam, a product manager and former architect at Red Hat and a member of The Apache Software Foundation: Probably multi-runtime, or Mecha architecture,… Continue reading The Evolution of Distributed Systems on Kubernetes

Advertising IoT Devices as Extended Resources in Kubernetes w/ Akri

Kubernetes is powerfully declarative. When deploying a Pod, you can specify memory and CPU resource limits, so your application will have all the resources it needs. A few years ago, Kubernetes created the Device Plugin framework to allow other resources to be requested. It was created with the cloud in mind, particularly focused on allowing… Continue reading Advertising IoT Devices as Extended Resources in Kubernetes w/ Akri

Automate Microservice to API by using Kubernetes Operator Pattern

The recent constraints on businesses have pushed organizations to accelerate their plans for moving operations to the digital world—often shrinking timelines from years to months to weeks. Microservices architecture (MSA) is critical to accomplish fast innovation, and the APIs exposed from microservices should be secured, managed, observed, and monetized. All these steps require significant time.… Continue reading Automate Microservice to API by using Kubernetes Operator Pattern
