| Cisco Cloud Services is proud to announce the 0.2 release of microservices-infrastructure, a modern platform for rapidly deploying globally distributed services based on Mesos, Marathon, and Consul. https://github.com/CiscoCloud/microservices-infrastructure ### What's new in 0.2 # Security:
0.2 was focused primarily on improving platform security for ZooKeeper, Mesos, Marathon, and Consul. Setting up security couldn’t be any easier. Simply invoke `./security-setup` prior to deployment and we take care of the rest, including generating SSL certificates for web admin consoles. There are numerous other security enhancements-from dynamic firewalls that open ports based on discovered services to Mesos framework authentication to the beginnings of Consul ACL support. # Dynamic Configuration:
Consul's service discovery, dns, and key value storage provide a powerful foundation for building responsive distributed systems. In release 0.1 we introduced a dynamically configuring Zookeeper ensemble based on consul-template. In 0.2 we extend dynamic configuration to haproxy, nginx and firewalls for Mesos and Marathon. In future releases, we'll be moving more configuration out of Ansible and ssh to a REST API-centric system to provide a platform that can reconfigure itself with ease. # The entire 0.2 changelog is available at https://github.com/CiscoCloud/microservices-infrastructure/blob/0.2.0/CHANGELOG.rst ### What's planned for 0.3 * Logging and monitoring * Mesos + Consul integration ### Community The project continues to see strong growth in contributions and deployments.
