DeveloperWeek Austin 2018

A modern infrastructure stack utilizes containers for packaging microservices, orchestration for service provisioning, and a service mesh for the application logic and control plane. Docker has won the “container wars.” Kubernetes has won the “orchestration wars.” But the service mesh war is just heating up. Istio has emerged as a promising de facto standard, but it’s a pluggable architecture and primary components are evolving. In this presentation, Rob Whiteley will discuss: How a service mesh provides granular control, security, and monitoring of inter-service communication. The three primary components -- Mixer, Pilot, and Istio-Auth -- and swappable alternatives. How to deploy enterprise-grade service mesh utilizing a sidecar proxy in the Istio environment.
