Service Mesh - Beyond the Hype

Get an introduction to the concept of a service mesh and see a real-world example.

Service mesh technologies have gained significant interest in the past year. We often hear or read the words "Service Mesh" in blog posts or videos nowadays. But most of these don't explain what the "Service Mesh" really is. In this talk, Anubhav Mishra helps us understand the components that make up a "Service Mesh" and how "Service Mesh" can help developers and operators adopt smart networking techniques to empower their organizations.

We Will Examine

  1. The history of the term "Service Mesh".
  2. What it takes to create a service mesh control plane and a data plane.
  3. Responsibilities of each of those components and why they are critical to the overall functioning of a service mesh.
  4. Real-world example of a service mesh in action

Demo Addendum

In the talk, the demo had some issues by the end of the video, however, Mishra posted a short video of a successful run on his twitter. Follow that link directly to his video tweet.
