OSM’s contributors have been hard at work over the past several months preparing for the v1.0.0 release. Today, the OSM team proudly announces the release of version 1.0.0. Thanks to the community for helping drive the features they want to see in a service mesh and heightening the expectation for OSM to provide enterprise features and functionality. Reaching a project’s v1.0.0 milestone is a major accomplishment that is also met with a lot of reflection. Read More…

Today, we are excited to announce the first release candidate of Open Service Mesh (OSM) v1.0. It has been an exciting year since the initial open sourcing of the OSM project. OSM is a cloud native service mesh that allows you to uniformly manage, secure and observe application traffic in dynamic microservice environments. It runs on Kubernetes today and we’re planning to support OSM in multi-cluster and hybrid environments as well soon. With the v1.0 release coming in the next few weeks, we’ll deliver a stable set of robust service mesh features. You can use OSM to…

While Open Service Mesh (OSM) provides microservices environments with tools for security, traffic management, and observability, the project continues to evolve to support changing needs. As users deploy increasingly complex applications to Kubernetes, it’s become evident that running a service mesh across multiple clusters is desirable for application scalability and robustness.

Getting started with contributing to any open source project can seem daunting. KubeCon + CloudNativeCon gets us energized and ready to contribute to projects, but how do we maintain that momentum and onboard onto a new codebase? Here are five steps that helped new maintainers of Open Service Mesh create that first pull request, followed by links to OSM-relevant resources. This friendly guide comes from first-hand onboarding experience, sprinkled with insight from open source veterans on our team. Let’s get started!

We are delighted to announce that the Open Service Mesh (OSM) project has been accepted to enter the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a sandbox project. Having Open Service Mesh be openly governed is a priority for the project maintainers, as was stated in the initial launch blog. The open governance structure provided by the CNCF allows developers across the ecosystem to easily contribute to the project under the auspices of the CNCF. Read More…
