Deploy Istio for Production Workshop - 10AM Pacific Time [US]

Date Apr 21 · 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM PDT

Istio is the most popular service mesh deployed into production across the cloud-native ecosystem, and for good reason. It’s feature rich, open-source, and most importantly battle proven. It provides the foundational pieces to implement zero-trust networking, get deeper observability into a distributed system, and smart routing control for safer software releases. This workshop is for those looking to learn more about how Istio works and how to operationalize it for their organization. We cover things like the basics of routing, observability, and security, and then expand into leveraging Istio for a devops/gitops CI/CD flow, zero-downtime upgrades of Istio control plane, plugging in with existing PKI, and running Istio on VMs and across multiple clusters. The lessons from this workshop have been cultivated by working with large and small organizations across the world adopting Istio. The workshop series is broken up into two separate workshops: 1. Understanding Istio and how it works 2. Operationalizing Istio for Day-2 In this first of a two-part series of workshops on operationalizing Istio service mesh, we dive into Istio foundations with a focus on understanding how it all works and how to roll it out to your organization. Istio is a powerful tool, but learning how to deploy it, configure it, debug it, secure it has its own challenges. Some of the topics that we will cover include: -Installation best practices -Separating deployments of certain components -Control plane -Gateway Join us on this exciting journey as we learn and adopt Istio.
