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!

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. Servers/Hardware. Time will tell how successful they are.

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.

KVM is the set of kernel modules that leverage hardware virtualization functionality inside Intel and AMD CPUs, and it makes possible the virtualization of closed-source operating systems like Windows. Why is this important? It’s first necessary to understand the relationship between QEMU and KVM. Ben Armstrong shows how here.
