3 Ways To Screw Up A Multicloud Deployment

We’re experienced with multicloud, but we’re also making common mistakes. Make sure you plan common services and have all your people on board. I guess I could place some stat here that shows multicloud is the large majority of public cloud deployments out there, but there are lots of other places to see that. We know it’s a common approach for enterprises to move to plural clouds versus single-cloud deployments. Enough said. The mistakes I see in multicloud deployments are not at all what you would think. You likely believe these errors are related to some complex technology being deployed…

Introducing The Architecture Templates

We released a new project on Github called Android Architecture Starter Templates. The goal of these templates is to get you started quickly when doing an experiment or starting a brand-new app from scratch. They follow the new Architecture recommendations that we released recently, which are a summary of the official Architecture guide. These templates are not empty, they contain some opinions in the form of architectural patterns and used libraries: Room Database Dependency injection with Hilt Jetpack ViewModel UI using Jetpack Compose and Material3 Jetpack Navigation Reactive data layer Kotlin Coroutines and Flow Unit tests UI tests using fake data with Hilt KTS gradle files Version catalog A simple…

The Evolution Of The Nydus Image Acceleration

Optimized container images together with technologies such as P2P networks can effectively speed up the process of container deployment and startup. In order to achieve this, we developed the Nydus image acceleration service (also a sub-project of CNCF Dragonfly). In addition to startup speed, core features such as image layering, lazy pulling etc. are also particularly important in the field of container images. But since there is no native filesystem supporting that, most opt for the userspace solution, and Nydus initially did the same. However user-mode solutions are encountering more and more challenges nowadays, such as a huge gap in…

Five Exciting Things About Istio Ambient Mesh

Istio ambient mesh is a new, sidecar-less data plane architecture introduced in the Istio community on 9/7. I am personally proud to be part of the ambient mesh launch after many months of working with our brilliant engineers. About two years ago, I wrote the “Service mesh is still hard” blog and many of the points in that blog are still valid with the sidecar architecture. In this blog, I want to highlight five things in ambient mesh that I am extremely excited about while circling back to some of the points I made in my earlier blog. Simplified Operation If you used…
