Now that Softlayer services are integrated with Bluemix, can I use Bluemix APIs to spin up SF compute resources?
No, it is not possible, The SoftLayer and Bluemix API's are independent, you should use the SoftLayer's API for it.

I was reviewing some material related to kubernetes security and I found it is possible to expose Kubernetes API server to be accessible from the outside world, My question is what would be the benefit from doing something vulnerable like this, Anyone knows business cases for example that let you did that?
Thanks
Simply, you can use endpoints to deploy any service from your local. for sure you must implement security on your api.
I have created an application locally which builds using docker api, and deploy using kubernetes api.
Don't forget about securing your apis.
Right now, my production is using Google Cloud Network Endpoint Group
I am planning to use Multi-cluster spread into different Cloud Provider.
In Google Cloud, the flow is like visitor -> LB -> NEG -> Pod
I am curious, what is NEG called in Azure Cloud ? After reading azure docs, i don't find the similarity of NEG. Only Static IP Address LB and Standard IP Address LB
In google cloud, the best practice is Network Endpoint Group. What is the best practice in Azure Cloud ?
I recommend to consider this method below to replace Google Cloud Load Balancer NEG, https://azure.github.io/application-gateway-kubernetes-ingress/
or this one for fastest deployment https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/tutorial-ingress-controller-add-on-existing
We currently have a highly available cluster of the Data Management Gateway for an Azure Data Factory solution. Now we need to deploy a highly available On-Premises Data Gateway for a Logic Apps Solution.
The question is, can both agents co-exist on the same cluster? Are there any limitations on this setup?
We would like to use Kubernetes for Microservices and Google Cloud Endpoints as API Management layer.
If I understand well, to have Google Cloud Endpoints functionality we need to have a sidecar or proxy for the real microservice. (image: gcr.io/endpoints-release/endpoints-runtime:1)
So if we were to use Istio as service Mesh technology how will Envoy proxy work along with Google Cloud Endpoint? Will it actually proxy even the google cloud endpoint relevant container?
Or is this a bad strategy?
When IBM Cloud is down, does it also affect the Availability Monitoring service? I understand tests are run from locations around the world and it should not really fail when IBM Cloud is down.
Also any information on high availability and failover support for IBM Cloud Availability Monitoring is appreciated.
The main components of the Availability Monitoring service are hosted outside of IBM Cloud. The UI component is hosted within IBM Cloud, but is part of the global console so as long as at least one IBM Cloud data center is up, it will continue to operate. The Alert Notification functionality is provided by its sister service which is hosted within IBM Cloud. If the Availability Monitoring service cannot forward on the alerts to the Alert Notification service, then that part of the service will not function.
The net is: it depends on where the failure in IBM Cloud is.
The service itself has HA but only within each data center, there is no HA across data centers.
