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.
