Workshop: Deploying and Observing Secure, and Highly Available Applications with a Service Mesh

Location: Westminster, 4th flr.

Duration: 9:00am - 4:00pm

Day of week: Thursday

Level: Intermediate

Key Takeaways

  • What a service mesh is and how it addresses challenges of modern microservices and containerized deployments.

  • Lab: Implementing observability (metrics, logging, and tracing).

  • Lab: Implementing reliability patterns (load balancing, circuit breaking, service discovery, timeouts, backoffs, and retries).

  • Lab: Implementing secure service-to-service communication (service segmentation and transport level encryption).

Prerequisites

Participants should have some experience deploying microservices and/or containerized applications. Experience with Kubernetes helpful but not required.

More talks on:

Modern application architectures are embracing public clouds, microservices, and container schedulers like Kubernetes and Nomad. These bring complex service-to-service communication patterns, increased scale, dynamic IP addresses, and ephemeral infrastructure. A service mesh is an infrastructure layer that provides observability, reliability, and security for these modern deployment architectures. 

In this workshop, you’ll learn how service meshes provide observability, reliability, and security. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to implement a service mesh in Kubernetes to deploy a reliable and highly available application.
