Managing network connections for an application used to be relatively straight forward. Applications were written and run as monoliths and didn’t need internal connectivity to integrate their constituent parts. And there weren't a whole lot of resources they needed to connect to externally. Read the full Blog Here!Containerd, Docker, and Finch with Phil Estes, AWS
In this video, Steve Martinelli from Equinix interviews Phil Estes, a Principal Engineer at AWS. They discuss Phil’s background in software development and his involvement in open-source projects, particularly in the container runtime world. Phil talks about his work on Docker, Containerd, and a new project called Finch, which provides a wrapper for container runtime tools. They also discuss the adoption of Containerd and the reasons why many managed Kubernetes services switched from Docker to Containerd. Phil shares his favorite open-source moments and mentions upcoming speaking engagements. He encourages people to try out Finch and provides information on where to learn more about the project.
What are your plans for the Equinix Metal Load Balancer service?
Tyler Auerbeck introduced us to the new Load Balancer (EMLB) service during his Equinix Demo Day Winter 2023 session, https://deploy.equinix.com/events/demo-day-2/. Now that all Equinix Metal users have access to this feature through the console and API, what are you planning to do with it? The service is documented athttps://deploy.equinix.com/developers/docs/metal/networking/load-balancers/. One of the first integrations to be released is the Cloud Provider Equinix Metal (CPEM) support for managing Kubernetes Service resources with the LoadBalancer type. The integration will provision EMLB load balancers and pools and configure ports to map to the Kubernetes nodes and ports where the service is available. The dozens of API calls all happen automatically when CPEM is used in a Kubernetes cluster running on Equinix Metal! The CPEM docs for using this integration are in the project README:https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-equinix-metal#service-load-balancers. More API documentation is available at: https://github.com/equinix/lbaas-api-docsWhich Youtube video tutorials would you like to watch?
Which Equinix topics, partnerships, or services would you like us to cover in future videos at EquinixDevelopers? This week Chris Privitere joined the Youtube livestream to walk us through Kubernetes Metrics Server. We're always looking to keep giving back to the community.CPEM officially in the K8s Cloud Provider SIG
As ofversion 3.6.2, Cloud Provider Equinix Metalis officially part of the Kubernetes Cloud Provider Special Interest Group!We are happy to offer up the work we continue to do on CPEM to a larger community and allow broader engagement. You can find (and contribute to) the repo underkubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-equinix-metalor find Equinix listed in the SIG Cloud Provider communityreadme. Recent updates include fixed elastic IP annotations for those still using facilities (which are being deprecated) as well as a fix to CPEM's use ofMetalLBv0.12.1."What Is" Series
stevemarturned me onto Equinix's "What is?" series where each article explores a new technology or topic. For example, you may know what iPXE is but did you know that Equinix actually boots up iPXE for every supported operating system of ours? There's a lot to learn, so give these a read. I'll add some of them below: What is an API https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-api What is Colocation https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-colocation What is iPXE https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-ipxe/ What is Kubernetes https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-kubernetes What is NVMe https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-nvme
