Kubeshop, Accelerator/Incubator for Kubernetes, Joins OpenAPI Initiative

By Announcement, Blog

The OpenAPI Initiative, the consortium of forward-looking industry experts focused on evolving and implementing the OpenAPI Specification (OAS), is announcing today that Kubeshop.io has joined as a new member. Kubeshop’s CTO, Ole Lensmar, served as the chairman of the OpenAPI Initiative from its inception in 2016 until 2020. We welcome back the familiar face! 

Kubeshop is an open-source accelerator/incubator focused on Kubernetes (“K8s”). Kubeshop identifies needs and offers resources and guidance to projects within the k8s space, specifically focusing on helping Developers, Testers, and DevOPS engineers with tooling that strives to make complex workflows simpler and more productive. Currently, Kubeshop is home to Kusk, Kubtest, and Monokle:

  • Kusk allows users to work with an OpenAPI specification as the source of truth for Kubernetes manifests, simplifying cluster configuration and management across a number of popular Kubernetes Ingress Controllers
  • Kubtest provides a framework for testing of applications and APIs running under Kubernetes, allowing teams to decouple test orchestration and execution from ci/cd tooling and centralize test-result management and analysis
  • Monokle simplifies everyday tasks and workflows related to management and debugging of k8s manifests 

“Joining and supporting the OAI was an obvious step for us; the OAI is central to the continued adoption and evolution of the OpenAPI Specification, and we are excited about the prospect of housing projects targeting OpenAPI specific needs and Kubernetes workflows,” said Ole Lensmar, CTO, Kubeshop.

We look forward to watching Kubeshop grow and evolve, and help out k8s developers!

About the OpenAPI Initiative

The OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) was created by a consortium of forward-looking industry experts who recognize the immense value of standardizing on how APIs are described. As an open governance structure under the Linux Foundation, the OAI is focused on creating, evolving and promoting a vendor neutral description format. The OpenAPI Specification was originally based on the Swagger Specification, donated by SmartBear Software. To get involved with the OpenAPI Initiative, please visit https://www.openapis.org

About Linux Foundation

Founded in 2000, the Linux Foundation is supported by more than 1,000 members and is the world’s leading home for collaboration on open source software, open standards, open data, and open hardware. Linux Foundation projects like Linux, Kubernetes, Node.js and more are considered critical to the development of the world’s most important infrastructure. Its development methodology leverages established best practices and addresses the needs of contributors, users and solution providers to create sustainable models for open collaboration.

OpenAPI Initiative Welcomes Ambassador Labs as Newest Member

By Announcement, Blog

Ambassador Labs enables application developers to ship software faster on Kubernetes. The company’s Kubernetes-native API gateway offers an open source development kit to develop, manage, and monitor microservice architectures, enabling developers to adopt a cloud-native development workflow for Kubernetes services.

“We are heavily committed to improving support for OAS in our products, so joining the OAI is a natural move for us as we align closer with the OpenAPI community,” says Richard Li, CEO of Ambassador Labs. “In the cloud-native world, standardized API definitions create a natural point of integration across independent, fast-moving teams without strong central coordination.” 

“We are excited to welcome Ambassador Labs to the OpenAPI Initiative. APIs and microservices reinforce one another, and that synergy is a key reason why it is so important to standardize how we describe APIs,” said Marsh Gardiner, Product Manager, Google Cloud, and Technical Steering Committee, OpenAPI Initiative. “We look forward to working with Ambassador Labs to evolve and promote API standards like the OpenAPI Specification.”

From Ambassador Labs:

Ambassador Labs, makers of Edge Stack, the most popular Kubernetes-native API Gateway, is proud to join the OpenAPI initiative and work with OAI to establish and evangelize the standardization on OAS for API development.  Ambassador Labs is at the forefront of focusing on the cloud-native developer experience, both through dedicated developer tooling and by providing an integrated API Developer Portal. 

Ambassador Labs takes a comprehensive view of the ways in which they support developers, which is rooted in their belief that while Kubernetes represents a significant shift in technology, it really represents an opportunity to change the way developers do work. The successful shift to “cloud-native” requires multiple factors to fall into place, including the standardization on APIs, which is key to delivering an optimal developer experience.
