Want to see #ServiceMesh? I'm demoing #Istio and #Linkerd at #DevOpsCon #London https://www.linkedin.com/company/devopsconference. Join us for "Service Mess to Service Mesh" and see how #Kubernetes #security works. Slides: https://robrich.org/slides/service-mess-to-service-mesh/rsa.html#/

Have you missed #KubeConEU in London this month?
I've got you covered!
Next week I'll run a #KubeCon recap live stream with my fellow #CNCF Ambassadors Kasper Borg Nissen (KubeCon Co-Chair) and William Rizzo (also a #Linkerd Ambassador).
Even if you've attended the event, you're bound to get cool insights 😉
And you can share your own on the live chat! and ask us questions!
🗓️ 22 April 2025, 11:00 CET, OpenObservability Talks:
🌐 https://youtu.be/JyxJOmOEBvQ
At #LinkerdDay our Joonas's ⚡Lightning Talk will take #Linkerd beyond containers. He'll combine Linkerd + CNCF wasmCloud so users can expand their mesh to service an entirely new class of Wasm workloads. 14:50 BST. L3 Suite 14-16 👏
(ˊᗜˋ*) You Choose is going live NOW!!! How do you leverage service mesh to add observability? Featuring projects #Linkerd #IstioMesh #KumaMesh #ciliumproject!
Which will you choose? Join the fun! ♫

Progress report 3: Today I finally got #ArgoCD accessible via #Traefik’s IngressRoute on the IP assigned and announced by #Cilium. I'm now working on getting access via the #k8s Gateway API's equivalent. I’ve also gotten past all my #SELinux issues on @fedora #CoreOS… it took relabeling the entire file system post #K3s installation, but now Cilium, #Linkerd, and #Multus are all in without the use of elevated privileges.
[ #Linux #Kubernetes #Fedora ]
Progress report 2 on my #k8s setup centered around #K3s on @fedora #CoreOS: #SELinux is on & the #Cilium CNI, the #Linkerd CNI & service mesh, & #ArgoCD are installed! Both CNIs had to be installed with privileged=true, unfortunately… but at least it worked! Now to get a repo setup with all the charts and/or manifests needed to manage these components & others post-bootstrapping. Once all are effectively imported into Argo CD I’ll start adding more stuff.
Progress on my latest endeavor: I’m building a #k8s setup centered around #k3s, the #Cilium CNI, and the #Linkerd service mesh. My goal is to run this atop an immutable #Linux distro with #SELinux enabled. Sadly, the Cilium bits don’t work with @fedora #CoreOS without disabling SELinux even without Cilium’s Envoy daemonset. Barring some breakthrough in figuring out why that is, I’m planning to try @opensuse #MicroOS next. Its use of btrfs is quite appealing.
Service Mess to #ServiceMesh. Do you need a ServiceMesh to guard your #kubernetes containers? Which one do you choose? We'll see a live demo of #Istio and #Linkerd.

Episode 2 of my new #podcast series is out, featuring William Morgan of #Buoyant, the vendor behind the #Linkerd #servicemesh. In February, Buoyant announced it would no longer be making a certain class of the project's code, called stable release artifacts, available for free to production users with more than 50 employees. In this interview, William discusses community reaction to that change and his view on #opensourcesustainability. #opensource. #OSS #CNCF
@marcus_grant Yes, clarifying mutual expectations is good. If a contract on top of the license helps, so be it.
I'm not convinced it's primarily a legal issue: to this day, if you're a self-hosted user of #HashiCorp #FreeSoftware, you have no way to throw money at HashiCorp even if you want to.
Same with the #linkerd fiasco (https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/1262): did Buoyant ever ask help from #CNCF or anyone before cutting off the supposed free-riders?
Maybe the VC playbook doesn't fit collaboration.
I've been thinking a lot about the #linkerd news today. I've been sitting on a pile of research and tutorials and am planning on running a PoC with it, but the news (and the responses around it) added a surprise bit of chaos to my plans.
I understand everybody's "but wait, opensource" anger, but I do think we're seeing lots and lots of companies and tools that were traditionally assumed as free making a point that actually it's _not_ free to do all of this work.
#Linkerd latest release 2.15 is out, and it's got a twist:
#Buoyant (the co behind the project) announced they "will no longer be producing #opensource stable releases",
but rather focusing on delivering Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd (BEL).
This is a CNCF graduated project.
Yet largely with a single vendor behind it.
Disturbing.
While I’ll be following the #Linkerd / #CNCF drama with interest, this isn’t a rug pull like the #terraform license switch. #OpenSource means the source code is… well, open. That’s *all*. I’ve said it before: there’s no “spirit of open source” that always seems to put a ton of obligations on maintainers but never on users.
Doesn’t mean anyone has to be happy about the change, and I fully understand those who aren’t. But if it’s not in a license — OSS or commercial — it’s not an obligation.
