Release Notes for KubeSlice EE 1.6.0

Release Date: 1st March 2024

KubeSlice is a cloud-independent platform that combines network, application, Kubernetes, and deployment services in a framework to accelerate application deployment in a multi-cluster and multi-tenant environment. KubeSlice achieves this by creating logical application slice boundaries which allow pods and services to communicate seamlessly across clusters, clouds, edges, and data centers.

We continue to add new features and enhancements to KubeSlice.

These release notes describe the new changes and enhancements in this version.

Multi-Network Slice Overlay

With this release, we introduce the multi-network slice overlay in addition to the existing single-network slice overlay.

This option sets up the inter-cluster connectivity for applications by creating and managing a network of ingress and egress gateways based on the Gateway API. The pod-to-pod connectivity is provided at L7 for HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Unlike the single-network option, there is no flat inter-cluster network at L3. The service discovery for application services exposed on a slice is provided through local cluster IP services.

Currently, you can only configure the slice overlay network deployment mode for a multi-network slice through YAML.

Issues Fixed 🔧
