Workshop : Practical Use of a Service Mesh With Linkerd

Location : Abbey, 4th flr.
Day of week : Thursday
Duration : 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Decomposing monolithic apps into distributed microservices typically introduces improved scalability, resource isolation, and manageability benefits for your apps. That shift also exposes long hidden ambiguity problems in the network stack. The service mesh was invented as a way to ensure all service communication can be managed, monitored, and controlled. But what does it even mean to turn service communication into a first-class citizen and what can you do with that knowledge?

This workshop focuses on practical exercises to learn fundamental service mesh concepts. The workshop presumes a basic understanding of microservice architectures, managing application in production, and use of orchestrators like Kubernetes.
