At Deutsche Telekom Pan-Net, we have embraced Istio as the umbrella to cover our services. Unfortunately, there are services which have not yet been migrated to Kubernetes, or cannot be. We can set Istio up as a proxy service for these upstream services. This allows us to benefit from capabilities like authorization/authentication, traceability and observability, even while legacy services stand as they are. At the end of this article there is a hands-on exercise where you can simulate the sc...| Istio Blog
Cloudflare's SASE platform now offers egress policies by hostname, domain, content category, and application in open beta. This makes it easy to author simple and secure policies that control the source IP addresses that an organization's Internet traffic uses to connect to external services.| The Cloudflare Blog

If you have a basement, especially one that's finished or has a bedroom, you've probably come across the term egress window. It might sound technical, but it’s actually pretty simple — and important. Egress windows are emergency exits. If a fire or another serious situation makes it impossible to get upstairs, this window gives people The post Common Egress Window Requirements & Other Basement Safety appeared first on Prospective Home Inspections.| Prospective Home Inspections

Welcome to part 3 in our series about secure control of egress traffic in Istio. In the first part in the series, I presented the attacks involving egress traffic and the requirements we collected for a secure control system for egress traffic. In the second part in the series, I presented the Istio way of securing egress traffic and showed how you can prevent the attacks using Istio. In this installment, I compare secure control of egress traffic in Istio with alternative solutions such as u...| Istio Blog
Welcome to part 2 in our new series about secure control of egress traffic in Istio.

This is part 1 in a new series about secure control of egress traffic in Istio that I am going to publish. In this installment, I explain why you should apply egress traffic control to your cluster, the attacks involving egress traffic you want to prevent, and the requirements for a system for egress traffic control to do so. Once you agree that you should control the egress traffic coming from your cluster, the following questions arise: What is required from a system for secure control of e...| Istio Blog
The main objective of this investigation was to determine the impact on performance and resource utilization when an egress gateway is added in the service mesh to access an external service (MongoDB, in this case). The steps to configure an egress gateway for an external MongoDB are described in the blog Consuming External MongoDB Services. The application used for this investigation was the Java version of Acmeair, which simulates an airline reservation system. This application is used in t...| Istio Blog
In the Consuming External TCP Services blog post, I described how external services can be consumed by in-mesh Istio applications via TCP. In this post, I demonstrate consuming external MongoDB services. You use the Istio Bookinfo sample application, the version in which the book ratings data is persisted in a MongoDB database. You deploy this database outside the cluster and configure the ratings microservice to use it. You will learn multiple options of controlling traffic to external Mongo...| Istio Blog
While Istio’s main focus is management of traffic between microservices inside a service mesh, Istio can also manage ingress (from outside into the mesh) and egress (from the mesh outwards) traffic. Istio can uniformly enforce access policies and aggregate telemetry data for mesh-internal, ingress and egress traffic. In this blog post, we show how to apply monitoring and access policies to HTTP egress traffic with Istio. Use case Consider an organization that runs applications that process ...| Istio Blog
In my previous blog post, Consuming External Web Services, I described how external services can be consumed by in-mesh Istio applications via HTTPS. In this post, I demonstrate consuming external services over TCP. You will use the Istio Bookinfo sample application, the version in which the book ratings data is persisted in a MySQL database. You deploy this database outside the cluster and configure the ratings microservice to use it. You define a Service Entry to allow the in-mesh applicati...| Istio Blog
In many cases, not all the parts of a microservices-based application reside in a service mesh. Sometimes, the microservices-based applications use functionality provided by legacy systems that reside outside the mesh. You may want to migrate these systems to the service mesh gradually. Until these systems are migrated, they must be accessed by the applications inside the mesh. In other cases, the applications use web services provided by third parties. In this blog post, I modify the Istio B...| Istio Blog
