<p>I’m not sure if it was my time working for <a href="https://docker.io/">Docker</a> or just the general confusion around what various companies and startups are doing around container images, <strong>but</strong> I’ve always opted to go <code>FROM scrat…

<p>In a previous post I detailed (in my head at least) the “shopping list” of bits needed to implement a simple service mesh, you can read that here <a href="https://thebsdbox.co.uk/2024/11/30/Building-your-own-service-mesh/">https://thebsdbox.co.uk/2024/…

<p>I saw a few mentions about “service mesh” and mTLS amongst other things during the KubeCon US week and given some of the messing around i’d been doing with eBPF recently I asked myself “how hard could it be to write one from scratch”?

<p>This is the third time I’ve tried to write this, a random panic on my Hackintosh wiped out half a blog post and the other attempt read like garbage 🫠.

<p>Our Journey begins in 2003 were I somehow blagged a Unix role, largely due to experience with <a href="https://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</a> and sparse access to a few Unix systems over the years.

<p>I recently had a little bit of time to kill and decided to see if I could actually do some parsing of other protocols with eBPF.

<p>In a <a href="https://thebsdbox.co.uk/2023/11/18/eBPF-adventures-in-networking/">previous post</a> I talked a little bit about building up the knowledge with eBPF to start to understand a little bit more about what is going in and out of a network adap…

<p>I’ve been wanting to write some hopefully useful posts around eBPF for sometime, although usually by the time I’ve come up with something I though may be useful someone has already beaten me to the punch.

<p>It’s starting to feel a little bit as though the noose is starting to tighten a lot in the IT industry at the moment, whether it be Open Source projects spuriously changing their licenses and pulling the rug from their users to companies that expanded…

<p>Here we are again.. do I bother..

<p>In this post i’ve a bunch of things I want to cover all about <code>Type:LoadBalancer</code> (or in most cases a VIP (Virtual IP address).

<p>Since starting at <del>Packet</del> Equinix Metal i’ve had to spend a bit of time getting my head around a technology called BGP.

<p>This post will detail a number of (I think at least) awesome use-cases for <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go">client-go</a>.

<p>Whilst working on a number of <a href="https://kubernetes.io/">kubernetes</a> control-plane deployments and the fighting with <code>kubeadm</code> and components like <code>haproxy</code>, <code>nginx</code> and <code>keepalived</code>, I decided to try

<p>This post is relatively delayed due to <del>laziness</del> “business reasons”, also the last post about bare-metal Kubernetes deployments took too long.

<p>Undeterred by the memes and “thought leadership” I decided I’d finally complete this architectural overview of deploying Kubernetes on bare-metal.
