The Syselfer edition no.9 ???

Welcome to the Ninth edition of The Syselfer!

?

We are back with the first issue of The Syselfer in 2025 to share with you the latest news about what's going on at Syself and the Kubernetes world ??.

?

Kubernetes 1.31

In the next releases on our platform, we'll start supporting Kubernetes 1.31!

?

Kubernetes 1.31 comes with very interesting features, such as stable support for AppArmor, allowing specification of security profiles for pods, pod-level resource limits and integration for node memory swap.

?

?? If you are still on Kubernetes 1.28, we recommend you update now, as we ended support for this version in the first releases of 2025.

You can easily do so by following our version-aware update guide.

?

Gateway API

Perhaps the biggest news currently in the Kubernetes space, the Gateway API is an evolution of Kubernetes Ingress, designed to provide greater flexibility, extensibility, and scalability for routing and load balancing.

?

It introduces key features such as support for multiple gateways within a single cluster, advanced traffic splitting capabilities, and a more expressive configuration model.

?

Why should you care?

1?? It simplifies managing complex networking setups by offering a standardized and extensible interface. 2?? It improves scalability and reliability, especially for large-scale applications. 3?? It provides finer control over traffic management and supports future-proofing your workloads with advanced features.

?

And we have already started working in compatibility between Syself and Gateway API. Our users can look forward to leveraging these benefits directly within our platform, helping you unlock even more value from your Kubernetes environments.

?

Stay tuned for updates on this feature in upcoming issues of The Syselfer!

?? A New Provider is on the Horizon

We’re thrilled to share that we’re working on integrating a new provider into the Syself platform! While we can’t reveal all the details just yet, this addition will expand your options and make it even easier to deploy clusters in diverse environments.
