[–] ruben_varnish 5mo ago ↗ Author here. To mark 20 years of Varnish Cache, we are releasing a new downstream distribution built for Kubernetes.Technical Summary:* In-Core TLS: Termination is handled natively by the engine process. No sidecars required.* K8s Gateway API: Full implementation. Routing is defined via standard Kubernetes resources. Code here: https://github.com/varnish/gateway* No VCL: A new Rust routing engine ("Ghost") handles dynamic traffic. VCL is not required for standard routing.* Observability: Native OpenTelemetry/Prometheus exporters and structured JSON logs.Home of our downstream distribution: https://varnish.org
