Background and Goal

The concept of[ Proxyless Mesh|https://istio.io/v1.15/blog/2021/proxyless-grpc/] was first introduced in this blog. Please read it to learn more concept details.

We have started the development of Dubbo Proxyss Mesh for a while, so that means you don't have to start the project from scratch, anyone who gets involved can start with a specific task at hand. 

In this specific GSoC project, we need developers to mainly focus on implementing more traffic management features of Istio for Dubbo.

Relevant Skills

1. Familiar with Java
2. Familiar with Service Mesh, istio and Microservice architectures
3. Familiar with Kubernetes

Potential Mentors

1. Jun Liu, Apache Dubbo PMC Chair, junliu@apache.org

Background and Goal

Dubbo is an easy-to-use, high-performance microservice framework that provides both RPC and rich enterprise-level traffic management features.

The community has been working on the improvement of Dubbo's traffic management abilities, to make it support rich features like traffic spliting, canary release, a/b testing, circuit breaker, mocking, etc. The complete traffic management architecture in Dubbo consists of two major parts, Control Plane and Data Plane. In Dubbo, Control Plane refers to Dubbo Admin, with source code in apache/dubbo-kubernetes. Dubbo Data Plane is implemented by Dubbo sdk (Java, Go, etc)

The traffic management rules Dubbo ueses now is compatible with the rules in Istio. That means the rules generated by Dubbo Admin and sent to SDK is Istio compatible rules. In this project, we need developers to work mainly on Dubbo Admin to make sure it generates and sends those rules correctly.

This project consists in a series of tasks that build a sort of 'infra platform' for Beam. Some tasks include:

• Automated cleaning of infrastructure: [Task]: Build a cleaner for assets in the GCP test environment #33644
• Implement Infra-as-code for Beam infrastructure
  • Implement access permissions using IaC: [Task]: Build a cleaner for assets in the GCP test environment #33644
  • Implement drift detection for IaC resources for Beam
  • Implement 'best-practice' key management for Beam (i.e. force key rotation for service account keys, and store in secret manager secrets)

A quality proposal will include a series of features beyond the ones listed above. Some ideas:

• Detection of policy breakages, and nagging to fix
• Security detections based on cloud logging
• others?
