Buoyant Announces Linkerd 2.13 with New Reliability and Security Features for Kubernetes
Summary
New release introduces dynamic request routing, circuit breaking, automated health monitoring, vulnerability alerts, proxy upgrade assistance, and FIPS compatibility for government users Buoyant, creator of Linkerd, the CNCF’s only graduated service mesh, today announced the release of Linkerd 2.13. “As a first for the service mesh industry, we are proud to announce that we’re launching free automated health monitoring, vulnerability alerts, and upgrade assistance for any Linkerd cluster in the world with Buoyant Cloud,” said William Morgan, Buoyant CEO and one of the creators of Linkerd. This feature unlocks a variety of exciting capabilities including sticky sessions, user-based A/B testing and canary deploys, and dynamic staging environments. Leveraging the Gateway API is a huge win for Linkerd adopters because it reduces the amount of new configuration machinery introduced onto the cluster—a major source of complexity for other service meshes—while still providing a rich and expressive feature set. Every Kubernetes user in the world can now make use of these features to ensure the reliability and security of their service mesh deployment.
