Public cloud infrastructures and microservices are pushing the limits of resources and service delivery beyond what was imaginable until very recently. To keep up with the demand, network infrastructures and network technologies had to evolve as well. Software-defined networking (SDN) is the pinnacle of advancement in cloud networking. By using SDN, developers can deliver an optimized, flexible networking experience that can adapt to the growing demands of their clients.
This article will discuss how Tigera’s new Project Calico is an open source networking and security solution. Although it focuses on securing Kubernetes networking, Calico can also be used with OpenStack and other workloads. Calico uses a modular data plane that allows a flexible approach to networking, providing a solution for both current and future networking needs.

It has been a while since I have been excited to write about encrypted tunnels. It might be the sheer pain of troubleshooting old technologies or countless hours of falling down the rabbit hole of a project’s source code that always motivated me to pursue a better alternative — without much luck. However, I believe luck is finally on my side.
In this blog post, we will explore using open source Tigera announced a tech preview of its TLS were available to encrypt workloads’ traffic at higher TCP/IP layers, in this case, the application layer. However, WireGuard targets traffic at a lower layer, the transport layer, which makes it effective for a wider range Continue reading
