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. As part of this extended partnership, Project Calico will also be the networking and network policy default for Windows environments, providing Windows admins and users with an enterprise-ready overlay networking option for deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters.

At the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2019 conference, Docker Inc. today announced that it is extending an existing networking alliance with Tigera to include an instance of the open source Project Calico software running on Windows Server.

Docker Inc. at the DockerCon 2019 conference last month, revealed it was including an instance of Project Calico within Docker Enterprise 3.0. That alliance is now being extended to include instances of Docker Enterprise that incorporate Kubernetes on Windows.

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.

Tigera, an enterprise software company providing security and compliance solutions for Kubernetes platforms, announced it has extended its strategic partnership with Google Cloud and has embedded Tigera Calico as a foundational component of GKE On-Prem, a reliable, efficient and secure way to run Kubernetes clusters, anywhere.

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.
