KubeCon EU 2023 \u2013 6 Days full of Cloud-Native<\/p>\n

<\/h1><\/div>

<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n

Last week we joined KubeCon EU 2023 in Amsterdam to meet with the cloud-native and Azure communities and check out the latest project updates and trends within the open-source ecosystem. We did not only join KubeCon but also other corresponding events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KubeCon – Community in Bloom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This KubeCon<\/a> was the biggest KubeCon EU ever. With 10,000 attendees it wasn’t just fully booked but it’s now also the biggest open-source community in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) now hosts 159 projects backed by 1,300 maintainers and 20,0000 contributors. That is massive! Furthermore, the community runs 406 Community Group Chapters like our Cloud Native Rosenheim Meetup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Events and Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday and Monday, we joined Cloud Native Rejekts<\/a>. This event supports speakers in the wider community that didn’t make it onto the KubeCon agenda. It’s a fantastic event to attend, with great talks and a perfect location to connect with new and long-time community members. On Monday evening we kicked off the week with a small meet-up with our friends in a nice bar in Amsterdam. Thanks to everyone who joined!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday we focused fully on Azure and joined Microsoft at the Kubernetes on Azure Day. The day was packed with great news and announcements. Don’t miss to read all the details below! Furthermore, we found some time to connect with other MVPs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day we joined our friends from Isovalent for an evening full of Cilium fun (Don’t miss registering for our joined Cilium on Azure Workshop Day<\/a> in June)! Also, don’t miss to check out their blog where they introduce some cool new Cilum Mesh<\/a> features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s new on Azure and AKS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, last week was full of news and announcements! We have curated a list of them below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azure CNI Overlay becomes GA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Azure CNI Overlay streamlines the management of cluster nodes and pods within a Virtual Network (vNet) subnet. Nodes are placed directly on the vNet subnet, while Pods receive IP addresses from a separate private CIDR. An overlay network manages pod and node traffic within the cluster. To access external resources, the node’s IP address is used for Network Address Translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, this method saves VNet IP addresses and makes it easier to scale your cluster to larger sizes. Furthermore, this provides connectivity performance between pods that is equivalent to VMs in a vNet. This is because there is no need for custom routes to be deployed on the cluster subnet or an encapsulation method to tunnel traffic between Pods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azure CNI Overlay also supports the Azure CNI powered by Cilium<\/a>, so don’t miss checking this out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AAD workload identity with AKS turns GA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Goodbye Pod identity, long live Workload Identity. The long-awaited announcement finally happened during KubeCon. So, there are two announcements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
