Workshop: Service Mesh Kick-Starter with Istio and Linkerd2
Service Meshes are fast becoming ubiquitous in cloud-native infrastructure. To the platform engineer, they provide simpler and more powerful operations. To the software engineer, they offer features around resiliency, security, and observability. But Service Meshes can be daunting; hard to use and poorly understood.
This hands-on workshop will kick-start your Service Mesh journey. We’ll get hands-on with both Istio and Linkerd2, using a simple example mircoservices app.
You’ll learn how to configure retires, backoffs and timeouts for traffic. We’ll explore the powerful observability features, enable mTLS for security between the services, and more!
In between the exercises, I’ll present context and theory for how Service Meshes work, so you have a full mental model of what’s going on under the hood, in order to continue your journey.
