Open Service Mesh: a Service Mesh Implementation from Microsoft
Microsoft has released open service mesh (OSM), an alpha service mesh implementation compliant with the SMI specification. OSM covers standard features of a service mesh like canary releases, secure communication, and application insights, similar to other service mesh implementations like Istio, Linkerd, or Consul. Additionally, the OSM team is in the process of donating the project to the CNCF.

Istio 1.5: Consolidated "Istiod" Control Plane Binary and New Wasm-Based Extension Model
Istio 1.5 has introduced the Istiod binary to simplify Istio's architecture and improve operational experience. It has become simpler to install and run Istio since the control plane components have been consolidated into a single binary, Istiod. Istio has introduced a new extension model for proxy servers and improved usability, security, telemetry and traffic control.

What Comes after Microservices? Multi-Runtime Microservices with Bilgin Ibryam at QCon London
Bilgin Ibryam talked at QCon London about the evolution of distributed systems on Kubernetes and the future architecture trends. Ibryam said that the next trend would be to decouple infrastructure concerns from microservices. Ibryam calls this multi-runtime microservices, a service with business logic along with a sidecar in charge of state management, networking, binding, and lifecycle.

ServiceMeshCon 2019: Platform Plumbing, Debugging, and Custom Implementations
The inaugural CNCF-hosted ServiceMeshCon 2019 took place during November as part of KubeCon. A core message from the event was that service mesh technology is rapidly becoming part of the platform “plumbing”, and therefore the interesting innovation is happening in relation to the higher-level abstractions and the human-focused control planes.

Google Publishes Its BeyondProd Cloud-Native Security Model
Google BeyondProd white-paper provides a model for cloud-native security in a containerized world. Google's model requires moving beyond the traditional perimeter-based security model and leverages code-provenance and service identity as security cornerstones. Google also provided a list of open-source software that can be used to implement its security model.
