Introducing Fly Kubernetes

What's this blog post about?

Fly.io is introducing a new public cloud that runs containerized applications with virtual machine isolation on its own hardware around the world. The company has been working without Kubernetes (K8s) but has now developed a solution for users who require it. Fly.io For Kubernetians enables users to build something similar to Fly.io using standard orchestration tools like K8s, including their own Rust-based TLS-terminating Anycast proxy and IPv6-based private network system based on eBPF. The company has also introduced Fly Kubernetes (FKS), an implementation of Kubernetes that runs on top of Fly.io, allowing users to keep their investment in Kubernetes tooling while running things on the platform.
