Traefik Labs
launched a new cloud service that eliminates the complexity of management and
automation of Kubernetes and Docker networking at scale. With Traefik Hub,
organizations can instantly publish and secure containers for external access
from the internet, all from a single dashboard.
In today's cloud-native world, applications are more
distributed than ever before, with services running across increasingly
heterogeneous environments and complex technical stack. The need to publish and
secure services to make them accessible across hybrid infrastructures and from
anywhere on the internet is now mandatory. Previously, organizations had to use
disparate tools that lacked automation - leading to high operational costs and
complex processes.
Traefik Hub eliminates manual configuration of DNS, routing
rules, access control, and NAT that are required to access and protect services
on the internet. The automated set up is faster and uses networking best
practices to help minimize the attack surface and improve security. Traefik Hub
integrates with Traefik Proxy in both Kubernetes and Docker environments.
"From its inception, Traefik Hub was purpose-built to
address major challenges resulting from the rise in adoption of Kubernetes and
multi-cluster environments," said Emile Vauge, CEO and founder of Traefik Labs.
"The industry lacks a unified solution for users to effectively publish,
secure, and scale their cloud native services. Today, networking is more
complex than ever, and yet remains the core of any modern
infrastructure."
Traefik Hub is a software as a service (SaaS) platform that
instantly provides a gateway to services running on any Kubernetes or Docker
orchestrator. With the Traefik Hub platform, customers are able to:
- Publish - Install the
Hub lightweight agent, select services, and get secured public access to
containers in seconds;
- Secure - Access
containers through secured tunnels, deploy industry-standard
authentication, and automate TLS certificate management;
- Scale - Start with a
single cluster and scale to multiple clusters managed by a centralized Hub
dashboard.
"Traefik Hub removes the friction between deployment and
security, enabling a fine-grained control of service endpoints while increasing
security posture with policy rules," said Leon Andrianarivony, senior
staff cloud solution architect, Varian Medical Systems. "Traefik Hub takes a
giant step towards unlocking team collaboration by providing secure tunneling
toward your local development machine or edge to the cloud in a simple manner."
The Traefik Hub beta is available now and free
of charge.
