Networking Lee Briggs (formerly of Pulumi, now with Tailscale) shows how to use the Tailscale Operator to create “free” Kubernetes load balancers (“free” as in no additional charge above and beyond what it would normally cost to operate a Kubernetes cluster). Thanks for reading! This is a handy trick.

Here’s a quick look at using Envoy as a load balancer in Kubernetes. Travis Downs explores a recent Intel microcode update that may have negatively impacted performance. I saw this blog post about Curiefense , an open source Envoy extension to add WAF (web application firewall) functionality to Envoy.

Nick Schmidt talks about using GitOps with the NSX Advanced Load Balancer. Losing to Apple—whose M-series chips are widely regarded as faster and more efficient than Intel’s chips—has apparently stung the chip giant into revving up the innovation engine. Operating Systems/Applications. Servers/Hardware.

Continuing on that Envoy theme, you may find this article by Matt Klein—one of the primary authors of Envoy—helpful in understanding some of the concepts behind modern load balancing and proxying. Non-code contributions are, in my opinion, an important but oft-overlooked aspect of open source communities.

Operating Systems/Applications. This VMware blog post helps explain the link between Puppet and vFabric Application Director, and why organizations may want to use both. I enjoyed this article by Josh Townsend on using SUSE Studio and HAProxy to create a (free) open source load balancing solution for VMware View.
