This post will highlight and explain the importance of a pluggable data plane. But in order to do so, we first need an analogy. It’s time to talk about a brick garden wall.

Tigera has released the latest version of its Calico Enterprise SaaS security and observability platform for Kubernetes at this week’s KubeCon+CloudNativeCon Europe, adding a set of features that add up to offer real-time troubleshooting and full-stack observability for cloud native application developers and site reliability engineers (SREs).

With so many moving pieces in the Kubernetes world, it becomes really hard for DevOps and Security teams to have a complete view of the stack. It leads to delays in deploying new apps as both DevOps and DevSecOps teams don’t have the visibility they need.

Tigera has announced the latest release of Calico Enterprise that provides a full stack observability solution, including layer 3 network observability, application-level performance, DNS solutions and so on.

Tigera has introduced Calico Enterprise 3.5 —— the latest release adds Kubernetes-native full-stack observability capabilities that DevOps, site reliability engineers (SREs), and platform owners can use to observe and monitor microservices interaction to quickly troubleshoot issues while avoiding business disruption in cloud-native applications typically deployed with Kubernetes.

Tigera today announced the latest release of Calico Enterprise that adds Kubernetes-native full-stack observability capabilities that DevOps, site reliability engineers (SREs), and platform owners can use to observe and monitor microservices interaction to quickly troubleshoot issues while avoiding business disruption in cloud-native applications typically deployed with Kubernetes.

New offering enables AWS users to use Kubernetes security and observability as services along with managed Kubernetes services.

Service mesh is complex, and users can choose from among many vendor products. New SaaS versions offer a way for them to try different approaches without making a big commitment.

Observability is a staple of high-performing software and DevOps teams. Research shows that a comprehensive observability solution, along with a number of other technical practices, positively contributes to continuous delivery and service uptime.

Kubernetes is the de-facto platform for orchestrating containerized workloads and microservices, which are the building blocks of cloud native applications. Kubernetes workloads are highly dynamic, ephemeral, and are deployed on a distributed and agile infrastructure. Although the benefits of cloud native applications managed by Kubernetes are plenty, Kubernetes presents a new set of observability challenges in cloud native applications.

Calico is the most widely used networking and security solution for Kubernetes. In the latest v3.18.0 release, the Calico team has extended its eBPF data plane to offer support for host protection. This brings it into line with the battle-hardened standard Linux data plane. When combined with Calico’s automatic host endpoints feature, this offers a robust way to secure Kubernetes pods and hosts together using a unified policy model.

Tigera is making available a preview of open source Calico virtual networking and security software for running Windows in the Microsoft Azure Kubernetes (AKS) service. Amit Gupta, vice president of business development and product management for Tigera, says the goal is to make it simpler for IT teams to apply a consistent set of networking and security policies across both Windows and Linux servers hosting Kubernetes clusters on the Microsoft Azure cloud.

As more organizations make the move to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery model, many are choosing Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) as the target for their solutions. The programming model, cost efficiency, security, deployment, and operational attributes of EKS represent a compelling model for SaaS providers.

It’s not easy to secure our favorite container orchestration program Kubernetes. But, companies and projects, such as Jetstack with cert-manager, are trying to make it more manageable. The latest business to take on this tough job is Tigera, the Project Calico creator and maintainer, with software as a service (SaaS) for Kubernetes security and observability, Calico Cloud.

Tigera announced pay-as-you-go software as a service (SaaS) for Kubernetes security and observability. With Calico Cloud, users only pay for services consumed and are billed monthly, getting immediate value without upfront investment.

Calico Cloud offers DevOps and SRE teams a fast, easy way to secure, observe, and troubleshoot Kubernetes workloads across multi-cluster and multi-cloud environments.

Kubernetes startup Tigera Inc. today debuted its newest product, Calico Cloud, which it says will enable enterprises to secure their software container environments more thoroughly.

Tigera today launched a software-as-a-service (SaaS) edition of a platform for monitoring and securing Kubernetes environments based on its open source Project Calico network virtualization software.

Recently Amazon announced support for Bottlerocket on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Bottlerocket is an open source Linux distribution built by Amazon to run containers focused on security, operations, and manageability at scale. You can learn more about Bottlerocket in this announcement blog.

Tigera today announced it is making available Calico for Windows available as an open source software as part of an effort to advance networking across Kubernetes clusters in Windows environments. Company CEO Ratan Tipirneni says now that Microsoft has put in place all the complementary tools and platforms IT organizations that have standardized on Windows Server need to adopt Kubernetes clusters, use has accelerated over the last few months.

Thanks to the power of the newly-introduced eBPF in the Linux kernel, Tigera has been able to outfit its Kubernetes-focused Calico network management software with a new data plane mode, one that can speed pod-to-pod data communication and eliminate the dependency on Kubernetes’ kube-proxy for traffic management.

These 10 DevOps tools and technologies enable enterprises to repeatedly and reliably push out product upgrades and security patches with minimal friction.

We are proud to partner with Fortinet and join their Fabric-Ready Technology Alliance Partner program. With this partnership, Fortinet customers will be able to extend their network security architecture to their Kubernetes environments.

We are excited to announce the general availability of Tigera Secure 2.5. With this release, security teams can now create and enforce security controls for Kubernetes using their existing firewall manager.

Tigera Secure Enterprise Edition 2.5 enables security teams to use Palo Alto Networks’ Panorama to define and enforce security policies for their cloud-native applications running on Kubernetes.

Security Hub will be helpful to AWS partners, according to Amit Gupta, vice president of product management for San Francisco's Tigera, an enterprise software company providing security and compliance solutions for Kubernetes platforms.

As 2018 came to a close, we wrote that the Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) would start “taking over more monitoring, security and networking duties from individual kernel modules” and, indeed, the newly adopted virtual machine for the Linux kernel has appeared as central to new functionality for various products. This week, Kubernetes security and compliance provider Tigera has unveiled two new features based on the inclusion of eBPF as a newly-added data plane for its open source Calico control plane.

With this announcement, we are future-proofing our customer's investment in Calico and showing our commitment to continuing to provide the most advanced, scalable, and reliable solutions for Kubernetes network security. Over the next few Calico releases, you'll see the results of our work, starting with uses cases that have the most real-world value.

Tigera today announced it is adding support within the open source Calico network software project for the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) additions to the Linux kernel. eBPF is intended to provide higher layers of isolation without compromising performance. Tigera CEO Ratan Tipineni says that while adoption of eBPF is still very early days, there are specific use cases in which the ability to run a virtual machine at the kernel level using eBPF will benefit containerized applications significantly.

The latest iteration of KubeCon and CloudNativeCon, which took place in Barcelona last week, felt like something of a milestone‚ and not one shoehorned in for marketing purposes, either.

On June 10, 2014, the official Google Cloud Platform blog had a post from Eric Brewer, VP Infrastructure and Google Fellow. This unassuming post talked about Google’s investment in containers such as support for Docker in Compute Engine VMs and the release of a container resource monitoring tool called cVisor.

Project Calico is an open source networking and security solution for containers and is currently the "batteries included" Kubernetes CNI plug-in and for Linux environments in Docker Enterprise, providing a highly scalable and secure networking and Network Policy option for enterprise users.

Before becoming CEO at Google Cloud, Thomas Kurian worked at Oracle for over two decades, and was even at one point rumored to be the database giant's next CEO

Two things in particular struck me about the recent Google Cloud Next event in San Francisco. First, the cloud provider’s new leader Thomas Kurian is working overtime in his efforts to boost Google Cloud’s clout with enterprise customers. And second, Google’s new strategy to win enterprise cloud customer seem to be saying we’re OK with being your No. 2 choice. We know enterprises are already using Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure as their No. 1 cloud provider, and we’re OK with that. While Amazon and Microsoft tout customers going all-in on AWS and Azure, Google has embraced hybrid cloud.

Tigera has extended its alliance with Google to include an instance of open source Calico networking software in the on-premises edition of Google’s managed Kubernetes service. Announced at the Google Cloud Next 2019 conference this week, the extension of the relationship comes on the heels of Google rebranding its Kubernetes-based hybrid cloud computing strategy to Anthos.

Word came from the Google Cloud Next ’19 developer conference on Tuesday of new possibilities for cloud migration with the reveal of a hybrid cloud platform called Anthos. Google made the announcement, which was also transmitted via live stream, that the platform could help organizations with their transformation plans, especially for enterprises straddling the fence between on-premise and the cloud.

Google’s Cloud Services Platform for managing hybrid clouds that span on-premise data centers and the Google cloud is coming out of beta today. The company is also changing the product’s name to Anthos, a name that either refers to a lost Greek tragedy, the name of an obscure god in the Marvel universe or rosemary. That by itself would be interesting, but minor news. What makes this interesting is that Google also today announced that Anthos will run on third-party clouds, as well, including AWS and Azure.
