Knative & Linkerd Support, JSON logging, and more in Ambassador 0.73

We’re releasing Ambassador 0.73 today, with native support for the Linkerd 2.0 service mesh and the Knative serverless platform. Ambassador focuses on the ingress (“north-south”) use case for traffic management within modern cloud-native applications, and accordingly we’ve had integrations for quite some time with service meshes that focus on the service-to-service (“east-west”) use cases, such as Istio, Consul, and Linkerd. At the recent KubeCon EU, we saw an increased amount of interest around Linkerd, and also some potentially avoidable friction with the integration, and so we’ve improved the operator experience around this (more details below).

We’ve discussed many interesting use cases for SNI support within the edge proxy/gateway with both open source and commercially supported users of Ambassador. In a nutshell (and with thanks to Wikipedia), SNI is an extension to the TLS protocol which allows a client to indicate which hostname it is attempting to connect to at the start of the TCP handshaking process. This allows the server to present multiple certificates on the same IP address and TCP port number, which in turn enables the serving of multiple secure websites or API services without requiring all those sites to use the same certificate.

Ambassador and the Cloud Native Ecosystem—Part 1: Monitoring

In a Cloud Native world, microservices are running with ephemeral containers that are regularly deployed to multiple availability zones, regions, and even multiple clouds. As these cloud native applications become more complex, our supporting solutions like monitoring, have also had to become more complex. Today, more traditional monitoring responsibilities are being automated, and monitoring has become less human centric.
