In the v1.0 version released this time, Kmesh has made significant improvements to the east-west traffic management function, improving the efficiency and security of overall network traffic management. These improvements not only optimize the stability of data transmission, but also provide users with richer traffic management capabilities. In addition, we continue to optimize the usability of Kmesh, making it more friendly and intuitive, so that users can quickly get started and use it.
Kmesh v1.0 main features
To ensure the security of communication between nodes, Kmesh introduced IPsec in version v1.0 to encrypt traffic between nodes, converting plain text into cipher text during traffic transmission, ensuring the information security of communication between nodes. The overall architecture diagram is shown below:
IPSec is a mature, stable and highly secure encryption protocol that is kazakhstan phone number data widely used in various network environments. It not only provides encryption for communication between nodes, but also supports encryption of data of different protocols. Kmesh only uses the encryption function of IPSec. As shown in the figure above, after the user sets the pre-shared key of IPsec in Kubernetes, Kmesh manages this key to ensure normal communication of IPsec.
In addition, in order to finely control the encryption behavior of IPsec, Kmesh stores node information through KmeshNodeInfo CRD and synchronizes information between nodes with the help of Kubernetes api-server, ensuring the security of communication between cluster nodes.
With IPSec, Kmesh not only implements encryption for inter-node communication, but also ensures the confidentiality and integrity of data during transmission, thereby effectively preventing data from being eavesdropped, tampered with, or forged. By combining the flexibility of Kubernetes and the extensibility of CRD (Custom Resource Definition), Kmesh can efficiently manage encryption keys in complex cluster environments and dynamically synchronize node information, further improving the security and reliability of the entire system.
