Linkerd vs. COVID-19: Addressing the global Pandemic with a Service Mesh - William Morgan, Chief Executive Officer, Buoyant

Linkedin
has
always
been
a
community
project,
since
its
donation
to
the
cncf
in
2017.
Hundreds
of
contributors
from
around
the
world
have
made
linker
d
better
through
docs
code,
giving
talks
or
simply
helping
each
other
out.
One
of
the
most
personally
gratifying
aspects
of
helping
to
build
liquidity
has
been
watching
this
community
grow.
In
fact,
the
community
has
grown
even
more.
By
watching
this
talk,
you
are
now
a
member
of
the
linker
d
community.
A
A
Many
of
us
had
friends
or
family
who
fell
ill
and
sometimes
whose
lives
were
tragically
cut
short
by
the
virus.
For
many
of
us
beyond
grief,
our
feelings
included
frustration
and
helplessness,
especially
early
on
in
the
pandemic.
It
was
terrible
to
feel
like
we
couldn't
do
anything
to
help.
After
all,
we
weren't
doctors
or
emergency
medical
personnel
or
virologists.
A
In
this
talk,
I'd
like
to
highlight
four
different
ways
that
linguity
has
been
used.
These
examples
are
just
a
sample
of
the
many
ways
that
lingerie
has
been
used
to
address
covit19
and
they
range
from
public
sector
to
private
sector,
from
education
to
healthcare,
to
retail
and
while
I'll
be
highlighting.

A
The
next
example
comes
from
the
private
industry,
clover,
health,
a
linguity
adopter,
built
a
tool
to
help
its
employees
and
the
families
of
its
employees
find
eligible
vaccines.
This
vaccine
finder
is
powered
by
lingerie,
as
well
as
by
kubernetes
and
a
host
of
other
cloud
native
and
open
source
tools.
A
My
third
example
comes
from
penn
state
university
at
the
zero
day
service
meshcon
conference
earlier
this
week,
dom
d,
pasqual
and
others
from
penn
state
described
how
they
used
linkerd
to
build
and
power
a
covid
test
scheduling
system
for
all
incoming
students.
In
the
spring
2021
semester,
almost
70
000
students
were
required
to
be
tested
within
72
hours
of
returning
to
campus
and
again
within
the
first
10
days
after
return.
A
Staff
finally,
right
here
in
texas,
heb
100
year
old,
grocery
store
chain
that
operates
in
over
150
communities
and
300
stores
across
texas
and
other
states
used
lingerie
to
rapidly
roll
out
curbside
and
home
delivery
services
to
allow
their
customers
to
get
their
groceries
safely.
During
the
pandemic,
the
heb
team
was
able
to
roll
out
these
services
dramatically
faster
than
anticipated
in
light
of
the
coven
19
pandemic.
A
By
using
linker
d,
this
story
was
detailed
at
last
november's
kubecon
n,
a
by
heb
team
members,
justin
turner
and
garrett
griffin,
the
heb
team
said
we
went
from
being
a
nice-to-have
convenience
to
a
critical
resource
for
slowing
the
spread
of
covet
in
texas,
and
especially
a
lifeline
for
immunocompromised
customers
who
did
not
want
to
incur
risk
associated
with
grocery
shopping
after
trying
several
meshes.
Linkerdy
was
the
simplest
one
and
gave
them
everything
they
needed
out
of
the
box.
A
A
Each
of
these
community
members
was
able
to
solve
critical
problems
around
reliability
and
security
and
observability
for
their
applications.
At
a
time
where
speed
especially
was
of
the
essence,
they
didn't
use
linker
d
because
they
thought
service
meshes
were
cool
or
because
they
read
a
blog
post
or
wanted
to
try
it
out.
A
The
second
lesson
I
draw
is
about
community
we've
worked
hard
to
make
linkery
a
welcoming
and
encouraging
place,
and
because
of
that,
the
linguity
project
has
seen
incredible
examples
like
the
ones
I
described
today,
the
code
and
the
docs
and
the
energy
that
everyone
has
invested
in
the
project.
Even
though,
is
into
this
very
abstract
thing,
called
a
service
mesh,
that's
difficult
to
explain
to
a
person
outside
of
our
cloud
native
bubble
and
sometimes
difficult
to
explain
to
people
inside
our
cloud
native
bubble.
A
A
I
am
profoundly
grateful
to
our
amazing
lingerie
community
and
I'm
grateful
to
the
teams
that
ncbi
and
clover
health
at
penn
state
at
heb
and
in
all
the
other
organizations
around
the
world
that
are
building
on
top
of
linkerdy
and
using
it
to
address
the
coven
19
pandemic
as
every
open
source
community
member
knows,
the
best
reward
in
open
source
is
seeing
others
use
a
project,
especially
for
something
that
you
yourself
feel
proud
of,
and
so
on
behalf
of
the
linker
d
open
source
community.
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you.
