Newest Release of Ambassador Cloud Announced
February 24, 2022

Ambassador Labs announced the newest release of Ambassador Cloud.

Built on leading open source Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects, including Telepresence, Argo, and Emissary-ingress, Ambassador Cloud now features “ClickOps” capabilities to make it easier than ever for developers to code, test, ship, and run applications for Kubernetes. Any developer can begin using Ambassador Cloud for free and upgrade to a paid plan for as little as $5 per month.

“We built Ambassador Cloud to help developers do what they want to do most, which is write great code,” said Richard Li, Founder and CEO at Ambassador Labs. “The power of Kubernetes and the tools ecosystem to manage it adds a lot of complexity to the development process. Ambassador Cloud directly addresses the learning curve for developers to master this complexity with ease, allowing them to use their existing tools to simplify how they code, test, ship, and run their Kubernetes workflows from a single pane of glass and with just a few clicks.”

Ambassador Labs’ mission is to help organizations ship software faster in the cloud. This mission is fueled by the growth of Kubernetes: developers using Kubernetes increased 67% in 12 months, according to a recent report by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Today, the role of a modern software developer goes well beyond writing code and now includes managing the suite of tools for release and runtime infrastructures using Kubernetes. Full stack developers are now becoming full lifecycle developers.

Ambassador Cloud now includes a number of new features to reduce the complexity of building software for individual developers and cloud native teams:

- Code and Test Services with Telepresence. Developers can set up a local dev environment that connects to a remote Kubernetes cluster, enabling you to use your existing tools and workflow for development. Users can now start a Telepresence session from a list of Kubernetes services and get a secure URL to view any code changes in real time using a point-and-click interface. Teams can also view code changes via a GitHub or GitLab organization, fostering code development collaboration in real time.

- Safely Deploy Canary Releases with Argo. To support cloud native CI/CD, developers can manage an entire canary release workflow from a single pane of glass in Ambassador Cloud using CNCF project, Argo. Developers can open and merge pull requests, and monitor or even pause a canary release in just a few clicks.

- Run Production Apps with Emissary-ingress. CNCF project Emissary-ingress makes it simple for developers to manage and observe traffic from the Internet to their Kubernetes services. Typically managed using a declarative, GitOps -style workflow, Ambassador Cloud simplifies this even further by allowing developers to create a Mapping straight from the Cloud user interface as a pull request. The Mappings are automatically generated from the Cloud and deliver best practice recommendations, such as timeouts and rate limits, so developers feel confident in the availability and resilience of their service workflows.
