Here’s a quick look at using Envoy as a load balancer in Kubernetes. Via Alex Mitelman’s Systems Design Weekly 015 , I was pointed to this AWS article on multi-site active-active architectures. It’s a good starting point for thinking about operating your own active-active architecture. Virtualization.

This tool automates deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications on a cluster of servers (virtual or bare metal). On top of that, the tool also allows users to automatically handle networking, storage, logs, alerting, and many other things related to containers. Traffic routing and load balancing.

I have a fairly diverse set of links for readers this time around, covering topics from microchips to improving your writing, with stops along the way in topics like Kubernetes, virtualization, Linux, and the popular JSON-parsing tool jq. This is an interesting deep dive into Intel’s “Ice Lake” Xeon SP architecture.
