Multi-Cloud Solution Reduces Operations Burden and Increases
Application Scalability and Availability for Enterprise Application Teams
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A10
Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a provider of intelligent and automated
cybersecurity solutions, today announced the A10
Ingress Controller for Kubernetes, and its integration with A10’s
container-native load balancing and application delivery solution. The
solution provides application teams building microservices and
container-based applications with an easy, automated way to integrate
enterprise-grade load-balancing with comprehensive application
visibility and analytics.
The A10 Ingress Controller not only operates with Ingress resources to
automatically provision application delivery configuration and policies,
but also ties directly into the container life cycle to automatically
update application delivery configuration with the dynamism of a
Kubernetes environment. As application services scale up and down, the
A10 load balancer is dynamically updated. The containerized load
balancer – A10
Lightning® ADC – also scales up and down automatically with the
scale of a Kubernetes cluster.
The solution provides comprehensive application analytics by collecting
hundreds of application metrics, thus enabling operations teams to
troubleshoot faster, manage capacity planning and also detect
performance and security anomalies. The analytics data is available via
dashboards on the A10
Harmony® portal or via APIs.
“As application teams adopt container and microservice architectures,
Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard for container
orchestration,” said Kamal Anand, Vice President of Cloud, A10 Networks.
“A10’s Kubernetes solution provides enterprise applications teams with
container-native enterprise grade application delivery for their
mission-critical applications. With bundled monitoring, traffic
analytics and application security, it reduces their operational burden
and allows them to focus on core application value.”
“The transition to software containers, micro-segmented application
architectures, and DevOps practices is underway, making it imperative
that ADCs can be easily included in these applications and orchestrated
along with containers by container management software such as
Kubernetes,” said Cliff Grossner, Ph.D., senior research director and
advisor of cloud and data center research practice for IHS Markit, a
global business information provider. “For 2017 we estimated revenue
from commercial license of container software at $350 million, with
revenue over $1.2 billion forecast for 2022, signaling a strong need for
application delivery ecosystems to support containers. A10’s focus on
integrating its ADC software Kubernetes container management software
answers an important market requirement.”
“IDC finds that enterprises are increasingly adopting cloud-native
containers and microservices. A challenge for those enterprises, though,
is ensuring that the right application-delivery infrastructure is
deployed to facilitate the agility, elasticity, flexibility, security
and scale that production environments require. At the edge of a
Kubernetes cluster, the ingress controller provides important
functionality – applying rules to Layer 7 routing to allow inbound
connections to reach cluster services – and its integration with
enterprise-grade application-delivery infrastructure, such as A10’s
containerized load balancer and controller, makes considerable sense,”
said Brad Casemore, Research VP, Datacenter Networks, IDC.
The A10 Ingress Controller for Kubernetes solution’s features, when and
if made available, may include:
The A10 Ingress Controller is available now anywhere Kubernetes is
deployed, including public clouds Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft
Azure, and Google Compute Engine (GCP), and private clouds (running
VMware and bare metal infrastructure).
