KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2024

Cell-based architecture offers concentrated, self-contained functionalities but can be challenging to implement with Kubernetes clusters. However, integrating this architecture with Kubernetes brings significant benefits like enhanced scalability, resiliency, and resource management. This session will demystify the process, focusing on secure inter-cell communication, API gateway integration, and building resilience using Kubernetes-native features. I’ll demonstrate how to use Istio for secure inter-cell communication, ensuring efficient interaction between services while maintaining strict security. This includes configuring traffic management rules and leveraging Istio’s mutual TLS for secure communications with minimal complexity. We’ll also explore enforcing separation of concerns and governance for multi-tenancy and privacy. Attendees will gain actionable insights into leveraging cell-based architecture on Kubernetes, transforming complex setups into robust, scalable solutions.
