These are part of the a live session, which has a recording available at https://www.bigmarker.com/fullstaq/Show-n-Tell-Kubernetes-Ingress-with-Kong . I hope you will enjoy the live session.
What can you expect when using Kong ? Kong can help you in various use cases like API gateway for authentication or broader API management uses cases. In this specific scenario Kong is part of the Kong Ingress Controller for Kubernetes, which in essence provides HTTP(S) or HTTP/2 intelligent traffic routing, that operates at layer 7 and additionally can provide load balancing capabilities to your kubernetes cluster. To automatically obtain certificates we setup cert-manager, which provides access to ACME providers like Venafi cloud or Let's Encrypt.
Back in 2015, Square and Google collaborated to launch gRPC, an open source RPC framework backed by protocol buffers and HTTP/2, based on real-world experiences operating microservices at scale. If you build microservices, you will be interested in gRPC.
This webcast covers:
- a technical overview of gRPC
- use cases and applicability in your stack
- a deep dive into the practicalities of operationalizing gRPC
Talk given at OpenResty Con 2017 in Beijing.
Kong (https://getkong.org) is a widely-adopted open source API Gateway built with OpenResty. It aims at helping secure, manage, and extend microservices-based architectures with minimal effort from the user, while ensuring platform agnosticism.
In this talk, we will explore the challenges we encountered developing such an OpenResty application, and how we overcame many of them by way of libraries and contributions back to the OpenResty community. We will cover topics such as clustering OpenResty nodes, inter-workers communication, DNS resolution, typical pitfalls OpenResty developers should avoid, and much more.
A brief overview of the significance of API Gateways in microservices architecture by providing Kong as an example.
Slide 2: Monolith Vs Microservices
Monolith:
Pros-
Simple to implement
Less integration test - easy to test
Easy to ship
Fast development
Cons-
Violates Open-Close principle
Nightmare when it comes to managing the code
Difficult to enhance
Bigger artifacts
Hard to replace individual components like DB, Logger etc.
Microservices-
Pros-
Easy to manage
One reason to change
Dynamic scaling
Single responsibility
Cons-
Multiple points of failure
Hard to test - rich integration tests required
Heterogeneity in infrastructure
Slide 3: API Gateway Pattern
It is microservices design pattern.
An API gateway is a service which is the entry point into the application from the outside world. It’s responsible for request routing, API composition, and other functions, such as authentication.
There are a lot of issues when client is talking to multiple components to get the job done. These include multiple proxies at client side, different logic to handle different calls, client needs to know the implementation details of server.
A much better approach is for a client to make a single request to what’s known as an API gateway. An API gateway is a service which is the single entry-point for API requests into an application. It’s similar to the Facade pattern from object-oriented design. Like a facade, an API gateway encapsulates the application’s internal architecture and provides an API to its clients. It might also have other responsibilities, such as authentication, monitoring, and rate limiting.
These are also termed as BFF - Backend For Frontend
Slide 4: API Gateway in Action
It acts as a “backend for the frontend”. The clients do not know which services they are talking to. They communicate with a single interface - API Gateway. The gateway resolves the client requests and distributes them to respective services.
Slide 7: Kong Architecture
Kong is a cloud-native, fast, scalable, and distributed Microservice Abstraction Layer (also known as an API Gateway, API Middleware or in some cases Service Mesh). Made available as an open-source project in 2015, its core values are high performance and extensibility.
Actively maintained, Kong is widely used in production at companies ranging from startups to Global 5000 as well as government organizations.
Debugging Your Debugging Tools: What to do When Your Service Mesh Goes DownAspen Mesh
In this CNCF Member Webinar, Neeraj Poddar (Aspen Mesh) and John Howard (Google) shared information on debugging your debugging tools when your service mesh goes down in production.
Service meshes are widely used as a means to enforce policies and at the same time gain visibility into your application behavior and performance. As more organizations adopt service mesh in their architectures, they are relying more heavily on the metrics, tracing and other traffic management and security capabilities provided by the service mesh. But what happens when a critical piece of your infrastructure like Istio has issues while in production?
In this webinar we will cover the debugging in production aspects of Istio, in particular the following topics will be covered:
* How to debug and diagnose issues with your sidecar proxy Envoy
* How to monitor and debug the Istio control plane
* How to use operational tools like “istioctl” to understand issues with your configuration
* Using profiling to identify bottlenecks
* Recommendations for a production ready secure Istio deployment

2017 Microservices Practitioner Virtual Summit: Microservices at Squarespace ...Ambassador Labs
This talk covers the past, present, and future of Microservices at Squarespace. We begin with our journey to microservices, and describe the platform that made this possible. We introduce our idea of the “Pillars of Microservices”, everything a developer needs to have a successful production service. For each pillar we describe why we think it is important and discuss the implementation and how we utilize it in our environment. Next, we look to the future evolution of our microservices environment including how we are using containerization and Kubernetes to overcome some of the problems we’ve faced with more static infrastructure.
Kong is a scalable, open source API Platform (also known as an API Gateway or API Middleware). Kong was originally built by Kong Inc. (formerly known as Mashape) to secure, manage, and extend over 15,000 Microservices for its API Marketplace, which generates billions of requests per month.

The increasing importance of our tooling, the rely on their ability to automate and potential damage when they don’t work properly should make us think about repositioning your tooling strategy. Nowadays tools are an essential part and getting more important every day for delivering high quality productivity, but why are we still handle them as non critical parts?
We can all agree that it’s seems such simple thing selecting your favourite tools, but that it’s actually a complex undertaking, by avoiding pitfalls and select your Swiss knife. Most companies are still struggling to find their best fitted tools for their organisation, processes and technology stack, caused by various legitimate reasons, but end up with no beneficial use or even not used at all. Think that we all recognize this situation?
During this presentation I will take you on the journey of defining and refining your end goal, effectively learn from the things that matter and define your Enterprise Tooling strategy. We will explore some typical pitfalls and practices that help you to identify their strengths and opportunities for your organisation to leverage from. After all we want to get productive as early as possible.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

3. The definition explained
What is ingress and which problem does it solve?
1. The act of entering
a. Manages external access to the services in a
cluster.
b. Sealing the entrance prevents ingress of data
leaking.
2. Power to interfere
a. Rules to route traffic to the correct service resources.
b. Optimise the traffic flow or services.
In short it means :Entrypoint
“Controlled with potential restrictions”

4. Some history background
What is Kong?
● Previously known as Mashape . Now called Kong.
● Started as API Gateway built on-top of Nginx proxy & OpenResty.
● Strong capabilities on distributed APIs and management.
● Highly extendable and powerful integration support with plugins or
Lua code.
#Fullstaq@DevMonOps
5. ● Kong for Kubernetes acts as an
ingress-controller.
● Runs in a DB-less mode with HA support
● Extends the Kubernetes API (CRD)
additional Kong resources.
● Configuration is fully declarative.
● Provides plugins for ingress,
authentication, gRPC, transformation
and common API management
scenarios like rate limiting.

What did we see during the demo
Demo summary
● Setup & installation of Kong.
● Setup of the admission controller for Kong CRDs.
● Demo of using Kong in combination with cert-manager to provide
ACME (CA) integration with certificate providers like Let's Encrypt
and Venafi Cloud to provide simple machine identity protection.
● Demo the use of the gRPC plugin, which uses HTTP/2 RPC protocol.
● Demo using basic auth on browser applications.
● Demo using api auth and managing the requests using rate limiting
plugin.
● Demo protecting api by applying simple rbac principles using the
ACL plugin.

My personal retro
Thing to never forget!
● Best approach for Kubernetes is DB-less mode.
● Understand the difference when annotating an Ingress and/or the
Service Object.
● Never rely on the Admin API in DB-less deployments, use the CRD
manifests only
● Not all plugins are yet supported (Kong for Kubernetes)
● Website documentation can be a bit confusing. Use Github guides and
learn from interesting community post on Kong Nation.
● If you can’t apply it on a single ingress (such as authentication layers).
Separate to multiple ingress layers.
● Always consult the plugin eco-system before creating your custom
plugin.
● Simple pre- and post- tasks can be easily implemented using LUA.
