Performance and Scale @ Istio Service Mesh - Fawad Khaliq, VMware Inc, Laurent Demailly, Google & Surya V Duggirala, IBM (Intermediate Skill Level)

In this session, members from Istio Performance and Scalability working group will talk about the work they have done over the past few months on performance and scalability using a four pronged approach: microservices applications across multiple industry domains, synthetic end to end per component load generation using Fortio, code level micro benchmarks and integration with the test and release. In this session, we will discuss best practices and tuning guidelines for effectively using Istio service mesh to obtain best performance and scalability. This session also talks about Istio performance characteristics on multiple cloud platforms including Kubernetes with few pointers on what to expect in the coming releases.
