Ambassador Labs today at the KubeCon + CloudNative Con Europe 2021 conference unveiled a control plane that makes it simpler for development teams to centralize the management of the toolchain employed to build cloud-native applications. Ambassador Labs’ CEO Richard Li says the Ambassador Developer Control Plane (DCP) also makes it simpler for development teams to add and replace tools within any toolchain they construct. Ambassador DCP is built on top of open source components that include Envoy proxy software, the Argo continuous delivery platform, the emissary-ingress application programming interface (API) gateway and Telepresence traffic management software for microservices. All four of the components are being advanced under the auspices of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, with Ambassador Labs having contributed emissary-ingress and Telepresence.
