New Ambassador Edge Stack Capability Accelerates Cloud-Native Application Delivery

New Edge Stack Capability Accelerates Cloud-Native Application Delivery

BOSTON, June 29, 2020 -- Datawire, the company behind the most popular Kubernetes-native API gateway, Ambassador, today announced a new Delivery Acceleration module available within the Edge Stack that improves the process of building and deploying continuous delivery pipelines. Datawire believes that the fastest way to implement continuous delivery in a cloud-native environment is to leverage the Kubernetes edge to build a version 0 or the first version of a microservice that validates the infrastructure setup. The critical elements in a version 0 include an efficient development loop, a simple continuous pipeline, a way to publish the code live, a way to update the code, and a mechanism to observe applications, traffic, and usage. With this new module, the Ambassador Edge Stack provides teams a full solution for achieving a version 0 sooner. The module consists of the new MicroCD Pipeline feature and the integration between Ambassador and CI/CD such as Jenkins X. The module also includes Service Preview - a previously released solution for previewing code changes locally while sharing a development cluster.

‘Dancing Skeleton,’ APIs and Microservices

Newest Release of Ambassador Edge Stack features New Service Preview capabilities to Improve Development Cluster Collaboration

Boston, MA – June 16, 2020 – Datawire, the company behind the most popular Kubernetes-native API gateway, Ambassador, announced new capabilities to Edge Stack that  make it easier for developers to benefit from the enhanced collaboration and reduced costs of a single, shared dev environment. Today, many organizations leverage duplicate cloud environments for microservice testing and development, which creates siloed environments that do not enable the collaboration and efficiency necessary to rapidly create better applications. Service Preview improves the utilization of existing cloud environments and supports better  developer productivity and experience. In the newest release of Service Preview, developers can preview and share changes they’ve made locally before submitting them to the shared development cluster. These previews are created using the live version of the shared cluster, but do not impact the shared cluster or the rest of the team working on it.

Linkerd 2.8 Adds Multi-Cluster Support with Ambassador Edge Stack

Multi-cluster Kubernetes with Ambassador and Linkerd

BOSTON, June 9, 2020- Datawire, the company behind the fastest growing Kubernetes API gateway, Ambassador, announced a partnership with Buoyant, makers of Linkerd, to support multi-cluster Kubernetes with Ambassador. As Kubernetes adoption has skyrocketed, we’ve seen organizations increasingly adopt a multi-cluster Kubernetes architecture. Multi-cluster offers a number of key advantages, including global failover, multi-tenant isolation, and reducing compliance scope. Unfortunately, deploying applications that span multiple clusters has been an exercise in configuration complexity and frustration. Linkerd 2.8 and the Edge Stack
