Telepresence
Motivation
Many useful Kubernetes tools, such as OpenTelemetry and Telepresence, require header propagation to function. Today, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite tools to tackle this challenge. Let's dive into gRPC and Tonic!
gRPC is a remarkable communication protocol, known for its speed, versatility, and efficiency. Developed by Google, it excels in high-performance scenarios, offers support for multiple languages, simplifies development, and enhances security and scalability. With clear interface definitions and powerful features, gRPC stands as a top choice for building modern, reliable distributed systems.

Kubernetes is pivotal in deploying and managing containerized applications at scale, but local Kubernetes development comes with its own set of challenges. These include the complexity of creating accurate local development environments that mirror production setups, which can be time-consuming and delay testing. This tension between development speed and accuracy is crucial in local Kubernetes scenarios.
For developers and teams striving to balance rapid iteration with accurate, production-like testing, local Kubernetes development proves essential. Constructing disposable development environments that reflect production setups is not only challenging but also resource-intensive. Here, local development using Kubernetes offers significant advantages.

Telepresence
You are a developer who enjoys experimenting while striving for optimal solutions. In the past, this was straightforward because your development work occurred on your own workstation. However, you now find yourself in a situation where your applications run within a container managed by a Kubernetes cluster. To implement any changes, you must first build a container and then deploy it to the cluster to have them tested.
When the container malfunctions, debugging becomes challenging; you are forced to rely on log outputs or various metrics to make educated guesses about the underlying issues.

Kubernetes API Gateway
Traditionally, tech companies have relied on the perimeter security model, which makes it hard to obtain access from outside the network but assumes that everyone inside the network should be trusted and given access to every single resource - no questions asked. This security model only focused on who was going into and outside of the network and not necessarily what they did when they were inside the network.
Due to the digital transformation and the move to hybrid cloud infrastructure, the way companies do business has changed. They no longer have their data in one place, and certain information is often spread across cloud vendors. Also, thousands of individuals are now connecting from home computers outside an IT department’s control.
Since users, data, and resources are spread across the globe, following the assumption that a user with access to the network is automatically good doesn’t cut it anymore and could lead to data breaches, costing companies millions of dollars. We need to take our security a step further, and that’s where Zero Trust comes in! This article highlights the importance of the zero trust security model.
