The industry’s biggest event, KubeCon+CloudNative vecon, was held in San Diego this year with over 12,000 attendees and over 100 cloud native vendors. Without a doubt, this conference is the biggest gathering in cloud computing.

CNCF manages many open source projects that form an important building block in modern infrastructure. The most famous project CNCF manages is Kubernetes, which has become the foundation of modern infrastructure and the industry’s de facto standard for container choreography.

With more than 20 projects, 500 members, and 100 businesses, CNCF represents one of the most vibrant communities and ecosystems in the industry. In 2019 alone, 205 new members joined CNCF, doubling the number of members.

This year saw a 50 percent increase in attendance compared to last year’s KubeCon in Seattle. From traditional infrastructure providers (HPE, VMware, etc.) to young startups, the event brings together the most interesting vendors.

Therefore, this event has become an important milestone for the yunyuan community. Many companies use KubeCon to announce new products and features.

This year’s KubeCon saw over 100 new product or feature releases from the cloud native ecosystem, and this article will list 10 of the most interesting products or features released in KubeCon+CloudNative vecon.

1. Release of Helm3

Helm is an incubator project of CNCF and the most popular Kubernetes application packaging management tool. Helm is one of the most critical deployment tools for administrators, so it has its place in the cloud native toolbox. Microsoft, Google, CodeFresh and Bitnami have all made important contributions to Helm.

The latest version of Helm simplifies and streamlined the use experience by eliminating dependencies such as Tiller, the server-side component that runs in a Kubernetes cluster. At the same time, a clear migration path is designed for Helm2 to Helm3.

AWS, Intuit, and WeaveWorks collaborate on Argo Flux

Argo Flux integrates Intuit and WeaveWorks to provide a unified Continuous deployment tool based on Gitops. AWS integrates Argo Flux based GitOps tools into Elastic Kubernetes Service and AWS App Mesh’s Flagger.

The result of this integration is a new project, GitOps Engine, which aims to simplify the deployment of applications in Kubernetes.

Microsoft’s Kubernetes confidential computing

According to Microsoft, secret computing can provide an additional layer of protection for potentially malicious code. Based on Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX), this technology can protect data even when the code is running on the CPU.

Microsoft extends secret computing to Kubernetes through a native workflow. Azure customers can start an Intel SGX-enabled cluster and then install a confidential computing device plug-in on the node. Kubernetes users can schedule pods and containers using the Open Enclave SDK to hardware that supports Intel SGX-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).

4. Red Hat launches CodeReady Workspaces 2.0

In February 2019, Red Hat released CodeReady Workspaces, which provides a native Kubernetes browser-based development environment for cross-team members, creating a smoother collaboration environment. Based on the open source Eclipse Che Integrated Development Environment (IDE) project, CodeReady Workspaces is optimized for Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

The latest release of CodeReady Workspaces enables developers to create and build applications and services in an environment similar to the production environment running on Red Hat OpenShift.

In addition, CodeReady Workspaces simplifies the developer experience by integrating the IDE with the production deployment environment.

Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS)

Mirantis announces continuous updates to its cloud-based Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS). The company says the product has no proprietary API extensions for the pure Kubernetes platform to ensure applications can run on any cloud. In addition, Mirantis enhances upstream Kubernetes software, making it resilient and reliable.

It’s worth noting that the announcement comes on the heels of Mirantis’ acquisition of Docker Enterprise.

O ‘Reilly’s acquisition of Katacoda

Katacoda is a popular tool for emulating Linux-based environments to help developers learn new tools and platforms. The biggest advantage of Katacoda is that users can simulate learning the tools they will use in a production environment in the browser.

O ‘Reilly has successfully transformed itself into an online learning platform. The acquisition of Katacoda allows O ‘Reilly users to expand their learning experience from a single online platform to a simulated real-world configuration environment.

Portworx launches PX-Autopilot

Container storage market leader Portworx announced an extension to its storage platform pX-Autopilot. When the tool detects that an application deployed on Kubernetes is running low on storage, it automatically provides more storage.

Px-autopilot is based on the policy engine and can automatically add block storage volumes or resize existing application volumes when consumption reaches certain predefined thresholds. Think of it as an automatic expansion engine for cloud native storage.

Diamanti announces Spektra Hybrid cloud solution

Diamani, a hyper-converged infrastructure company, has announced Spektra, a hybrid cloud platform for managing the lifecycle of containerized workloads running across local and public clouds. It also supports the migration of applications and data between different Kubernetes clusters.

Spektra provides a single pane to manage the storage capabilities of clusters registered with the engine, thus minimizing the mobility of applications and data across multiple Kubernetes environments.

Buoyant announced the launch of K8s’ SaaS control plane, Dive

Buoyant, founder of Linkerd, announced the in-beta release of Dive, a multi-tenant control plane for managing Kubernetes deployments.

According to Buoyant, Dive can convert every change to the infrastructure into a permanent link — one that can be pasted into Slack and tied to other changes. In addition, each service has a home page that can be expanded with SLOs, Runbook, and ownership information.

In addition, Dive enhances Linkerd’s ability to manage microservices running on the Kubernetes cluster.

10. Rancher extends Kubernetes to the edge

Rancher Labs, creator of the industry’s most widely used Kubernetes management platform, has announced the launch of its lightweight Kubernetes distribution K3S, which is certified for resource-limited environments. Since its launch earlier this year, Github has received over 10,000 stars.

Rancher and ARM teamed up to build a highly optimized version of Kubernetes for edge scenarios. It contains everything needed to install Kubernetes on any device in a binary file of around 60MB, thereby reducing the dependencies and steps required to install and run Kubernetes in resource-constrained environments such as IoT and edge devices, so k3S can be configured and upgraded with a single command.

K3s sword to the edge, and more than the edge. The lightweight and minimalist nature of K3S also makes it popular with users looking for an easy way to deploy Kubernetes. In addition to edge computing usage scenarios, tens of thousands of users are using K3S in embedded devices, CI environments, and bundled into applications.
