Why do you need a service mesh and how can Envoy Proxy help? @ Cloud Native Computing Paris May 2019
Over the last few years, service meshes have evolved and there has been new entrants in the space such as Istio, Envoy Proxy, Linkerd2 and more, all with rich featuresets. The goal of these all of these systems has been to make the network more transparent to applications by abstracting it away in an out of process system. As long as an application speaks common protocols (no matter the application language or runtime), it can take advantage of benefits like intelligent load balancing, circuit breaking, service discovery and more.
In this talk, we will go over the use-cases of a service mesh and introduce Envoy Proxy to describe the role it can play to help make your systems more resilient. No prior experience with Kubernetes or Service Meshes or Envoy Proxy will be assumed. Things will be explained from principles.
