- 1. THE CLOUD CONNECTIVITY COMPANY San Francisco, CA July 2020 CLOUD CONNECTIVITY 1
- 3. THE CLOUD CONNECTIVITY COMPANY 3 ■ An API driven workload orchestration/scheduler ■ Provides a declarative platform for running workloads ■ Nodes run pods > pods run workloads ■ Pods connect over networks that are often non-routable (but sometimes can be…) ■ Networking constructs are determined by CNI (container networking interface) providers
- 4. THE CLOUD CONNECTIVITY COMPANY 4 Apps Internet Kubernetes Cluster How Do We Connect Applications?
- 5. THE CLOUD CONNECTIVITY COMPANY 5 ■ Ingress relates to how workloads get into a given environment ■ In Kubernetes its a group of API primitives that dictate how workloads can be accessed ■ Kubernetes relies on an ingress controller to leverage these ingress API’s and expose workloads
- 6. THE CLOUD CONNECTIVITY COMPANY 6 ■ It proxies the traffic coming into a kubernetes cluster ■ Provides plugins for ingress, authentication, gRPC, transformation and common API management scenarios like rate limiting ■ Runs in a DB-less mode with HA support ■ Configuration is fully declarative
- 7. THE CLOUD CONNECTIVITY COMPANY 7 ■ A tool for connecting applications across clouds or runtime environments ■ Creates a consistent control plane for service discovery, health checking, and and mesh communication ■ Version 1.8 now generally available! ■ Includes capabilities that enhance connecting and securing environments globally such as WAN Federation, and Ingress/Terminating Gateways ■ Deploys easily on Kubernetes via Helm!
- 8. THE CLOUD CONNECTIVITY COMPANY 8 ■ Provides an out of the box way to access workloads coming inbound to Consul’s service mesh ■ Consul acts as a control plane for Envoy by providing traffic information over API ■ As as a one-to-many “front door” for accessing resources across a Consul service mesh ■ Logical place to apply Layer 7 traffic policies to enable progressive delivery concepts like traffic routing and splitting
