Crossplane is an open-source project that extends Kubernetes by providing a unified API for managing both application workloads and infrastructure resources, promoting the principles of infrastructure as code.
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications using Kubernetes on AWS infrastructure. EKS eliminates the operational overhead of setting up and maintaining the Kubernetes control plane, allowing users to focus on deploying and managing their containerized workloads.
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that streamlines the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It provides a unified API for container orchestration, allowing users to declare and manage application workloads, automate deployment processes, and efficiently scale applications based on demand.
Linkerd is an open-source service mesh for cloud-native applications. It is designed to enhance the reliability, observability, and security of microservices-based architectures. Linkerd facilitates communication between services by deploying lightweight proxy instances, known as "sidecars," alongside each service instance.
MTTR stands for Mean Time To Recovery. It is a key performance indicator used in the field of incident management and reliability engineering. MTTR represents the average time it takes to restore a system or service to normal operation after a failure or incident has occurred.
A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer designed to handle communication between microservices in a distributed application. It provides a way to manage, secure, and monitor the interactions between these services, offering a centralized control plane for governing service-to-service communication.
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool developed by HashiCorp. It enables users to define and provision infrastructure resources in a declarative configuration language. Terraform supports a wide range of cloud providers, as well as on-premises infrastructure and other services, making it a versatile tool for managing diverse environments.
