Service Mesh Patterns by the Book- Lee Calcote, Layer5 & Nic Jackson, HashiCorp

Infrastructure diversity is a reality for many organizations. It’s predicted that by 2022, 90% of all apps will feature microservices architectures. A huge range of microservice patterns drives a world of multiple service meshes. As various service meshes have proliferated infrastructures, service mesh patterns and abstractions have emerged. We will break down 60 service mesh patterns into different categories of use, demonstrating and examining a select few using Meshery for deeper review of their problems they solve, discussing caveats, and highlighting anti-patterns. The patterns discussed are being published in Service Mesh Patterns (O’Reilly) by Lee Calcote and Nic Jackson.

Meshery is a CNCF project: https://meshery.io.

Meshery provides:

- Performance Management - for workloads on and off of service meshes and inside and outside of Kubernetes clusters. .
- Configuration Management - with deployment of established usage patterns and analysis against configuration best practices; integration of Open Application Model.
- Lifecycle Management - for service mesh provisioning and workload onboarding.
- Intelligence Management - for dynamic configuration and deployment of WebAssembly filters for Envoy
- Interoperation and federation - by managing multiple service meshes concurrently.

En este workshop se abordará una introducción a Meshery y qué es un Service Mesh. Después se mostrará todo el flujo para contribuir a varios repositorios de Meshery tales como los workflows de CI, e2e Testing con Cypress, Documentación, Traduccciones, entre otros.

CNCF SIG Network Intro & Deep-Dive - Lee Calcote, Layer5

“It’s the network!” is the cry of every system administrator, every developer. With the increased prevalence of microservice-based distributed systems, it’s true - networking as a discipline has never been more critical in the efficient operation of cloud native deployments. Networking primitives, including load balancing, observability, authentication, authorization, policy, rate limiting, QoS, mesh networks, legacy infrastructure bridging, and so on are now receiving substantial development and investment throughout the industry and are the subject of focus of the CNCF Network SIG. Join this talk for an intro to the SIG, its charter and a deeper discussion of current cloud native networking topics being advanced in this SIG. Current CNCF projects in-scope: CNI, CoreDNS, Envoy, gRPC, Linkerd, NATS, Network Service Mesh.

Discreetly Studying the Effects of Individual Traffic Control Functions - Lee Calcote & Prateek Sahu, Layer5

Like path-based routing? How about attribute-based whitelisting? Manipulating request headers and routing? (yes, you do.) Service meshes offer granular control over service traffic, allowing you bend network traffic to your will. But, how do these individual traffic controls perform? How much latency do they induce? We present a study on the effects of individual traffic controls in a service mesh. Using a simple application, we will show how users can chain together multiple (fake) microservices, which are configurable in terms of their behavior (i.e. respond precisely and consistently) in performance test environments.

Too lazy to implement multi-tenancy? Don't have time to implement per user rate limiting in your application's endpoints? In this talk, we will examine how to let application infrastructure concerns melt off your Dockerized workloads and have your infrastructure implement multi-tenancy on your behalf.

Learn how to use Docker Desktop and Kubernetes as your development platforms of choice in combination with Meshery, the service mesh management plane, to easily deploy a service mesh. Using Consul and Envoy's latest capabilities, see how WASM can be used to move user authentication and authorization from your application to the infrastructure.

With the rise of Kubernetes, service meshes have evolved as a way to improve the reliability, security, and efficiency of service-to-service communications. According to the most recent CNCF survey, 18% of organizations are using a service mesh in production, with an additional 47% vetting a mesh for use in production. But adopting a service mesh can still be challenging for many organizations.

Join Lee Calcote and Bridget Kromhout from the Service Mesh Interface (SMI) project, a Sandbox project of CNCF, to learn how they are creating a standard for service meshes on Kubernetes. We’ll dive into how SMI is making it easier for organizations to adopt a mesh and what the future of service mesh looks like.

Trying to understand the service mesh strata? Brace yourself. It gets a bit meshy. Data plane, control plane, and a… management plane. What is a management plane and how is it different than a control plane?

Learn how Meshery, an open source, multi-service mesh management plane integrates with Network Service Mesh as we discuss and demonstrate their complimentary architecture. As a multi-mesh management plane, Meshery manages the lifecycle of NSM, providing insight into its CNFs while facilitating benchmarking of various configuration scenarios of Network Service Mesh.

See how these three service mesh planes combine to facilitate performance comparisons of services (applications) on and off the mesh and across different meshes. Understand the caveats of onboarding your applications onto a service mesh as Meshery validates best practices configuration of NSM and its CNFs.

Service Meshes: At What Cost? - Lee Calcote, Layer5 & Girish Ranganathan, SolarWinds

“What is the performance impact that a service mesh has?" "What overhead does being on the mesh incur?” By far, this is the most common questioned by engineers coming to with the value of functionality provided by a service mesh. Generally, this question goes unanswered. We will share methodology and results of performance testing research done in collaboration with a university, through the lens an open source service mesh benchmark tool - a tool used to provide a common benchmark across service meshes (their control planes, like Istio) and modern proxies (their data planes, like Envoy). Over 10 service meshes projects will be reviewed. In addition to performance, we’ll take an in-depth look at the landscape of service meshes, characterize and contrast their functionality as well as their data plane and control plane architectures.

Service mesh has arguably been the hottest topic in the open source and cloud native communities over the past two years. KubeCon Europe 2019 continues the enthusiasm with close to 20 sessions and talks about service mesh this week. At this breakfast our panel of experts will discuss the latest service mesh technology developments, lessons learned and best practices for adopting service mesh, challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for Istio and Envoy open source projects, and what’s next for service mesh in the coming year.

Tutorial: Using Istio - Lee Calcote & Girish Ranganathan, SolarWinds (Limited Seating Available - See Description for Details)

In the adoption of cloud native technologies engineers find one of the greatest challenges is the management of services in distributed systems. Service management challenges include service discovery, load balancing, fault tolerance, end-to-end monitoring, dynamic routing for canary deployments and securing communication. Istio solves these problems by providing a layer of infrastructure between the services and network that allows service communication to be controlled outside the application code. During this workshop you will gain hands-on experience as we walk through deploying Istio alongside microservices running in Kubernetes. In a series of hands-on labs, we see:• Traffic Management, Resilient Communication and Load Balancing• Policy Enforcement and Rate Limiting• Telemetry, Monitoring and Reporting• Securing Communication• Canary Deployments
