How a Self-Taught Coder Helped Istio Solve Cloud Native Networking
Managing network connections for an application used to be relatively straight forward. Applications were written and run as monoliths and didn’t need internal connectivity to integrate their constituent parts. And there weren't a whole lot of resources they needed to connect to externally. Read the full Blog Here!Containerd, Docker, and Finch with Phil Estes, AWS
In this video, Steve Martinelli from Equinix interviews Phil Estes, a Principal Engineer at AWS. They discuss Phil’s background in software development and his involvement in open-source projects, particularly in the container runtime world. Phil talks about his work on Docker, Containerd, and a new project called Finch, which provides a wrapper for container runtime tools. They also discuss the adoption of Containerd and the reasons why many managed Kubernetes services switched from Docker to Containerd. Phil shares his favorite open-source moments and mentions upcoming speaking engagements. He encourages people to try out Finch and provides information on where to learn more about the project.

We've released v0.7.2 to comply with the new kubernetes package repositories new key signing process. This new process prevented cluster-api installs from working at all. Please update to v0.7.2 so you can deploy new nodes again. https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-packet/releases/tag/v0.7.2Cloud Provider Equinix Metal v3.6.0 Release
This release is v3.6.0 of the cloud-provider-equinix-metal project, which provides a Kubernetes cloud controller manager for Equinix Metal. It includes 25 changes, the most exciting change being an upgrade path for users to get the latest version of MetalLB. This means better BGP-based network load balancing across their enabled worker nodes via custom resources. A lesser but still important change is that CPEM no longer does a health check on an incorrect service if said service was created in the default namespace. Various other updates were also bundled into this version such as updating Go language dependencies and improving linting for developer code.Check out the CPEM documentation for MetalLB for more details and review a sample migration path provided by MetalLB.
