1.5 million+ TPS


Each pod will have local bucket and then implement leaky bucket algorithm. 

Start bucket size with big number

Learning from rate limiting journey

Service with smaller threshold has higher precision

higher threshold has upto 10% error rate

pod has its own swimlane 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

For inter+intra rate limit, need to synch API-GW and serviceMesh. 

Unified config management 

Naavik knows, where service resides (Kubecon Paris) 

Canary release pattern : First canary call, the service registry will read from DB and put it in cache. For remaining, no need to access DB. Response from cache. Canary pod can put value in S3 bucket, for further optimization, and notify all pods to read form s3 bucket

Linkerd


* rust based data plane is  pretty light

* We can use any Ingress Controllers (IC) with Linkerd. IC are based on (1) NGINX (2) Envoy (2) HA Proxy. NGINX IC has Mister-Minion model

* security : authz policy, mTLS 

* intra cluster URL. So no need to go to LB for intra cluster. 

* Gateway API (GW-API) integration

* 1.17 Linkerd has many new features.

* canary deployment



Object Store for Vector DB app


github.com/thotz/python-vectordbapp-ceph

It can search image and text both

it uses RGW bucket and in-memory channel

CR has embedded function

CR is per bucket

CR is matched with milvus collection like, vector dimensions, index type, vector metric, staticjk schema 

Data Plane Technologies for Load Balancer


LB has many features

These features are supported by data plane technologies

data plane has many technologies, including open source. 

1. eBPF : 

2. VPP

- L2-L4 n/w

- graph based network

- fast lookup

DPDK : 

- latency reduce by bypassing kernel space

- large page and pool.

1. eBPF - XDP model

2. VPP-DPDK model




KubeCon 2024 India. Keynotes


Announcement
=========
  • Upcoming KCDs

1. April, 2025 at  Chennai

2. June, 2025 at  Bangalore

  • Kubestronaut : Takeoffs begin in 2025. In this announcement, India's map was incorrect. 

  • Upcoming KubeCon and CloudNativeCon

Hydrabad August 6 to 7 , 2025

LF Networking will be launched in phase 1 under LF India

=============================================================

Takeaway points : Flipkart

Ambient proxy is better. Sidecar cannot scale as per pod's TPS, Fan out etc. 

For PaaS Controller is better than Helm to deploy

=============================================================

Takeaway points : 

  • K8s is everywhere
  • Nothing is complete with AI
  • Starching the limits of K8s

=============================================================

2013 Docker: Now developer cannot say: "It works on my machine"
2014 K8s:
2015 K8s Declarative model
Great power comes with great responsibility
2016 tools : Prometheus, Istio, Helm, Argo CICD
2017 Cloud based managed K8s
2018 Observability
2019 Serverless
2020 Multicloud 
2021 Software Supply Chain, CICD, SBM like Zynga game
2022 AI : Kubeflow
2023 Platform Engineering. 
2024 WA, eBPF and ....
2025 Tackle Complexity and cost

Cloud Native Complexity 
Linux moment of K8s. Linux is complex. But we do not face issues like K8s
Backstage : Internal development platform: declarative, automation, extendable 

Cost 
OpenCost : Data driven ruthless optimization 
Cluster Autoscaler (CA)'s Priority Expander : It creates scaling group based on priority
Karpenter : Which node, how many and what size node to be added
