Interoperability Dreams: Europe's Bold Move Against Cloud Lock-in - NC2C031

Send us a textCloud security threats continue to evolve at an alarming pace, with state-sponsored actors developing increasingly sophisticated attack strategies. We dive into the emergence of China's Silk Typhoon group, which represents the concerning evolution of previous Salt Typhoon attacks. While initially targeting service provider infrastructure, these attackers are now leveraging stolen credentials to compromise enterprise cloud accounts through password spraying and API key theft. This progression demonstrates why encryption through provider networks is essential and why organizations must remain vigilant even when threats initially appear to target only their service providers.Europe is making bold moves toward cloud standardization with the Sovereign European Cloud API (SECA) initiative. This collaborative effort between European cloud providers aims to create true interoperability across cloud platforms, potentially ending vendor lock-in for organizations operating in the EU. Drawing parallels to the USB-C standardization for mobile devices, this regulatory approach could force major cloud service providers to adapt their proprietary interfaces to maintain access to the European market. While technical challenges remain significant given the diverse service offerings across providers, the economic importance of Europe means this initiative deserves close attention as it could fundamentally change how organizations interact with cloud infrastructure globally.The Kubernetes security landscape is evolving beyond traditional cluster protection with Aviatrix's launch of its Kubernetes Cloud Firewall. Rather than competing in the crowded space of intra-cluster security, this solution addresses the often-overlooked challenge of securing egress traffic and integrations between Kubernetes workloads and legacy systems. By reading the Kubernetes API to build security policies based on native attributes like pods and namespaces, the firewall helps organizations manage the reality that few environments are purely containerized.

Send us a textIn the 1930's, pioneering New Zealand pilot Jean Batten set multiple aviation records, including a speed record from London to Sydney, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic from East to West in 1935 (which, before reading this I routinely accredited to Beryl Markham), and first person to fly solo from London to New Zealand to prove how aviation could connect her homeland to the rest of the world. “Alone in the Sky” is an apt summation of this pilot's jaw dropping accomplishments. If you love flying and aviation history, you'll love this book and our conversation.  That's just the half of it. Have I mentioned how awesome my co-hosts Dr. Jacque Boyd and Capt. Jenny Beatty are? It is an honor and privilege to talk about our pioneers with these two incredibly accomplished and insightful women, both self-proclaimed aviation and book nerds, whose general aviation flying, aviation education, and airline careers, along with their long history of advocacy for women in aviation, complement my own military experiences, giving us the opportunity to approach our collective history from a variety of perspectives to help us all understand it better.  As we honor the anniversary of Amy Johnson's passing today, the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia, we celebrate the many adventurers who came after her. Later this year, the Aviatrix Book Club will discuss the memoirs of two women who celebrate this legacy of adventure: Solo 2 Darwin by Amanda Harrison, and Bird by Tracey Curtis-Taylor.  Special shout out to author Maggie Shipstead, whose novel Great Circle was inspired by Jean Batten, and is a story that honors the spirit of our women pioneers.  You don't want to miss the Aviatrix Classics Series.

Main Themes: The rise of multicloud 2.0: Organizations are moving beyond a single primary cloud and embracing a true multicloud strategy to leverage best-of-breed services from different providers. Kubernetes networking and security challenges: Multicloud Kubernetes deployments face issues with IP address exhaustion, overlapping IPs, egress security, and high-bandwidth secure inter-cluster connectivity. Aviatrix solutions for multicloud Kubernetes: Aviatrix offers a controller-based, intent-based networking and security platform that addresses these challenges with dynamic segmentation, secure egress, and hybrid connectivity. Key Ideas and Facts: Multicloud 2.0: Shifting landscape: The cloud landscape has evolved significantly in the 18 years since AWS launched. Organizations now have access to hyperscalers, regional clouds, and specialized clouds. True multicloud strategy: Organizations are adopting a true multicloud strategy to leverage the unique strengths of different cloud providers and enable developers to build better applications and services. Cloud 2.0: Many organizations are calling this shift "Cloud 2.0," driven by the need for distributed data, models, and applications, especially with the rise of GenAI and AI/ML applications. Kubernetes Networking and Security Challenges: IP address exhaustion: Kubernetes is "IP hungry," leading to IP address exhaustion and challenges with overlapping IPs, especially in large deployments with thousands of VPCs. Egress security: Millions of VPCs have weak or non-existent egress security, posing a significant risk to sensitive data. Inter-cluster connectivity: Establishing high-bandwidth, secure connectivity between Kubernetes clusters across different clouds and on-premises environments is complex and challenging. Aviatrix Solutions: Controller-based, intent-based networking: Aviatrix provides a centralized multicloud controller and uses intent-based policies to dynamically segment and secure traffic across Kubernetes clusters, regardless of the underlying IP addresses. Secure egress: Aviatrix replaces traditional NAT gateways with secure Aviatrix gateways, offering embedded NAT, visibility, and granular egress security policies based on Kubernetes resources. Dynamic scaling: Aviatrix automatically discovers and incorporates new Kubernetes resources into security policies as clusters scale up or down, eliminating manual configuration and ensuring consistent security. Hybrid connectivity: Aviatrix facilitates secure connectivity between cloud Kubernetes clusters and on-premises environments, including edge locations, enabling hybrid deployments for AI/ML and other workloads. Customer Success: Large-scale deployments: Aviatrix has customers with thousands of island VPCs and overlapping IP spaces, successfully using its platform to manage their multicloud Kubernetes environments. Operational efficiency: Aviatrix simplifies operations with its controller-based approach, dynamic policy updates, and world-class SRE team handling upgrades and troubleshooting. Key Quotes: Anirban Sengupta (Aviatrix): "Today every organization should embrace multicloud. That's the best way to get ahead with their competitors and help their developers." Anirban Sengupta (Aviatrix): "Networking and security should be top of mind... without connectivity and without security, you really can't have a multicloud strategy." Anirban Sengupta (Aviatrix): "Kubernetes is very IP hungry. There is exhaustion, IP address exhaustion is the key." Call to Action: Organizations looking to embrace a true multicloud strategy and overcome the networking and security challenges of Kubernetes should consider Aviatrix's controller-based platform. Contact Aviatrix for a demo and learn how their solutions can help you achieve secure and efficient multicloud Kubernetes deployments.

Despite all of the odds against her, Bessie learned to fly and earned her license in France in 1921, then returned to Europe to learn aerobatics before drawing mixed-race audiences to watch her perform in the U.S. Carole learned about Bessie Coleman from Jenny at a Women in Aviation International conference. In this conversation, she and Jenny share that exchange and talk about the impact it had on Carole's pursuit of her own dream to fly, and on her inspiration to write this book.
