Explore the essentials of Kubernetes management with Tony Pope-Cruz from @dynatrace in this detailed walkthrough. Understand how to avoid common pitfalls in Kubernetes deployments, such as mismanagement of resources that can lead to significant outages. Gain insights into how service meshes provide robust solutions for traffic management, service reliability, and observability.

The first problem that any cloud-native application has to solve is how to communicate with the world outside the cluster. This is “the ingress problem”, and while service meshes don't have to solve it directly, it is absolutely a major part of successfully getting your application working with one! Join us for a whirlwind tour of how service meshes interact with ingress controllers using the Linkerd service mesh with Emissary-ingress, NGINX, and Envoy Gateway.

Join Robert Sirchia as he hosts Flynn from Buoyant as they discuss: What is a Service Mesh?

Join Marino Wijay, Developer Advocate at Solo at KubeCon NA 2023, as he dives into the world of Istio. Discover how Istio enhances Kubernetes through traffic management, observability, and security for microservices. Learn about the controlled rollout of new application features, monitoring service failures, and ensuring service security and legitimacy with Istio's service mesh.

Join Ryota Sawada from Upsider as he navigates through the complex world of multi-cluster observability with Service Mesh. In this insightful talk, you'll learn about the standard setup of Service Mesh, its crucial role in observability, and the unique challenges that arise in multi-cluster environments. Ryota shares practical knowledge, tips, and demonstrates a live setup using Istio, Prometheus, Thanos, and Grafana. Whether you're a developer, engineer, or tech enthusiast, this talk provides valuable insights and practical knowledge to enhance your observability practices in multi-cluster systems.

The three of us are back to discuss what a service mesh is and why it exists as a stand-alone thing. The result we come to is that you want this kind of network control and management as its own layer, not something that’s built into the stack.
