"Zero to Value" in two steps with Istio ambient mode
When we first started designing what eventually became Istio ambient mode, there were many directions we explored, both in terms of implementation, and what our goals were. What resonated most, though, was that we wanted to provide an incredibly easy onboarding story for a subset of functionality. This subset, ultimately, was getting Mutual TLS deployed for all service-to-service communication within a cluster. I talk a bit more about this here. Since then, I think we have delivered on this promise... and gone even further! In this post, I wanted to highlight some of the areas that I think ambient helps deliver some serious value to users with minimal complexity. ...
Looking back on "Building Better Controllers" 2 years later
Over 2 years ago, I started working on some ideas to build better Kubernetes controllers. In this post, I wanted to give a bit of a retrospective on how things have gone since then. Over the years working on Istio and other projects, I observed a number of major issues with controllers: Most code was about error-prone event handling and state reconciliation, rather than business logic. Most tests, in turn, were about the same. This, in turn, made the code extremely complex, brittle, and often incorrect. This complexity lead to user facing compromise: incorrectness and performance issues. You might argue I should just write a better controller that is faster and without bugs. Maybe, but probably not. ...
