Learn about microservices, service mesh and API Gateways. Topics include Istio, Envoy Proxy, Web Assembly, GraphQL and declarative application networking.

Join Solo.io Field Engineer, Jim Barton, for an introduction to Envoy Proxy API gateways for traditional applications and Kubernetes-orchestrated microservices. This overview explains why people choose Envoy Proxy and how Solo Gloo Edge enhances the open source to meet the needs of enterprises. During this talk, Jim will cover the fundamentals of Envoy Proxy and Gloo Edge, including how to:
- secure workloads
- deploy and upgrade 
- federate management
- increase reliability
- and gain deep observability into complex environments

Intro to Envoy Proxy and Gloo Edge

The Zero Trust model applies the least privilege principle which ensures no one has more access to the data and resources than they actually require. With the pandemic and acceleration of moving to clouds, zero trust security is more important than cover.  We'll cover best practices for enabling a zero-trust security for your services with an Istio service mesh. We'll show how Istio and Gloo Mesh can help maintain federated, consistent security controls across Kubernetes, cloud, and hybrid environments.

Zero-Trust Security In Action For Your Services

The rising popularity of microservices and Kubernetes creates new challenges for application networking. These microservices are comprised of potentially hundreds of loosely coupled services that are dynamic, ephemeral, and distributed making the communications between them critical to the security, reliability and performance of the application. A service mesh solves the challenges in building and operating microservices applications by managing application networking and providing discovery, traffic management, security, load balancing, failure recovery and observability. 

But which service mesh is right for you? With an increasing number of mesh technologies, it can be daunting to decide which is best for your organization. In this talk, we explore when you may need a mesh, which features to start with, and how to select the right mesh for you.

How to Select the Right Service Mesh

An Istio-based service mesh and control plane can simplify and unify the configuration, operation and visibility of the service-to-service connectivity within distributed applications. But what is a service mesh, and why might you need one? Join this session by Ram Vennam, Field Engineer and Solutions Architect at Solo.io, for a primer on Istio service mesh. You'll gain a fundamental understanding of Istio, service mesh architecture, capabilities and use cases.
