Deploying Service Mesh in Production
Deciding whether or not to use a service mesh and understanding the value/complexity tradeoff is step one when exploring service-mesh technology. Christian Posta has been helping organizations adopt this technology as a practitioner and architect for the last three (or more) years and shares practical guidance for how to adopt a service mesh for your organization including separating out control plane and data plane, plugging in with observability tools, leveraging gateways appropriately, rolling out mTLS safely, and overall preparing for troubleshooting and debugging. This talk will include a lot of live demos to illustrate the concepts.
