A
I
am
a
field
cto
at
a
company
called
solo.I
o
where
we
build
service
mesh
technology
and
I've
been
built,
help
helping
to
build
architectures
and
application
architectures
based
on
microservices,
and
even
before
that
things
like
service
oriented
architecture
at
large
enterprises
for
the
bulk
of
my
career
and
over
the
last
three
three
and
a
half
years,
I've
been
interested
in
technology
that
has
now
emerged
into
what
we're
calling
service
mesh
I've
written
some
books
on
this
topic,
including
the
first
book
on
a
technology
called
istio
a
couple
years
ago,
and
I'm
currently
writing
the
istio
in
action
book
for
manning.
A
So
please
reach
out.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I
will
be
giving
a
talk
in
this
track
as
well,
and
I
just
I
just
want
to
point
you
to
the
initial
service
mesh
con,
which
was
a
large
success.
Great
turnout,
great
speakers
and
and
sessions
and
the
so
the
whole
thing
went
really
well.
It
was
recorded.
A
So
if
I
can
point
you
to
the
program
from
last
year
and
a
link
to
the
youtube
playlist
where
you
can
watch
the
the
various
talks
from
from
the
speakers
previously
now
that,
as
I
said,
that,
that
event
was
successful
and
the
intention
was
to
run
that
at
the
kubecon
eu
in
amsterdam
in
march
this
year.
But
as
you
can
see,
we
are
in
a
remote
and
video
format,
and
you
know
we.
We
still
have
a
very,
very
compelling
lineup
of
speakers
and
presentations.
A
Although
we've
been
discussing
service
mesh
for
the
last
few
years,
some
in
the
capacity
of
it
being
kind
of
hyped
some
more
recently,
I
would
say
in
the
capacity
of
adoption,
in
my
experience,
working
in
the
field
working
with
customers
working
hands-on
to
solve
real
challenges
around
deploying
and
managing
applications
in
a
cloud
platform
or
cloud
environment
potentially
built
around
things
like
microservices
and
so
forth.
To
help
the
organizations
move
faster.
A
You
know,
we've
we've
come
up
with
solutions.
In
the
past
we've
tried
out,
I
would
say,
service
mesh
when
it
was
a
little
bit
more
in
its
infancy,
but
now
as
it's
starting
to
mature
across
a
bunch
of
different
projects,
we're
seeing
legitimate
adoption
people
going
to
production
with
it
some
successful
stories.
A
Some
you
know,
they've
hit
some
bumps
along
the
way,
which
is
good
because
that
induces
learning,
but
there
are
still
people
coming
to
the
these
types
of
events
that
are
just
learning
about
service
mesh.
So
if
there's
an
entire
track
devoted
to
this,
let's
at
least
put
a
definition
down.
What
is
it
and
my
definition
is
fairly
straightforward
when
you
deploy
applications,
they
need
to
talk
with
each
other,
all
right
when
you
deploy
applications
and
they
talk
to
each
other.
They
talk
over
the
network
and
this
network
is
not
reliable.
A
That's
the
foundational
piece
all
right,
so
this
is
not
new.
This
position
isn't
new,
but
when
you
deploy
into
a
cloud
environment
where
things
are
highly
dynamic
service,
a
could
be
scaling
up
could
be
failing.
Service
b
could
be
on
the
other
end
of
a
network
partition.
These
cloud
based
networks.
Aren't
not
all
that
reliable
you
don't
own
them.
Typically,
there
might
be
layers
of
virtualization
and
software-defined
networking
and
so
forth
is
important
and
the
services
cannot
ignore
it
to
solve
those
challenges
around
the
network
and
those
challenges,
typically
being
connectivity.
A
How
can
you
do
things
like
timeouts,
retries
circuit,
breaking
deadlines,
retry
budgets,
that
kind
of
stuff
around
security?
How
can
we
secure
the
transport
and
the
application
level
messages
that
are
flowing
over
the
network
and
things
like
observability?
A
How
do
we
understand
what's
happening
on
the
network
so
that,
when
things
do
go
wrong,
we
can,
we
can
have
a
way
to
very
quickly,
diagnose
and
understand
what
is
what
is
happening.
A
That
is
more
secure
because
it
can
do
things
like
encryption
and
authorizations
and
so
forth
between
the
services
can
establish
identity
of
the
applications
without
relying
on
you
know
previous
forms
of
identity
and
trust
around
firewalling
and
ips,
and
all
that
stuff
we
can
assign
identity
to
the
applications
and
have
that
as
first
class
and
and
also
have
traffic
control
and
resilience,
and
some
of
this
operational,
you
know
when
you
build
these
applications.
You
need
to
solve
these
problems.
A
A
Service.
Mesh
adoption,
as
I've
been
trying
to
say,
has
been
first
of
all
real.
We
work
with
customers
at
solo.
I
know
others
are
seeing.
You
know
the
buoyant
folks
are
seeing
a
a
good
upswing
in
adoption,
and
you
know
the
istio
community
and
and
so
forth.
Some
of
the
capabilities
driving
this
adoption
can
be
broken
down
into,
like
I
said,
security,
observability
and
control
over
the
traffic
routing
in
and
between
the
services
for
doing
things
like
canarying
and
so
forth.
A
Now
these
topics
we're
going
to
see
presenters
through
the
rest
of
the
program,
talk
about
and
and
touch
on
these
on
these
topics,
but
the
meshes
the
particular
meshes
that
we'll
see
and
hear
about
in
the
lineup
will
vary.
The
ecosystem
is
very
vibrant
right
now,
new
releases
of
functionality.
A
All
of
these
all
of
these
projects
that
you
see
here,
for
example,
linker
d
back,
I
think
in
june
and
early
july,
they
they
released
a
version
of
linker
d
that
now
supports
multiple
clusters,
so
we're
starting
to
see
not
just
adoption
but
real
life,
multi-cluster,
non-trivial
deployments
and
workloads
and
so
forth.
We
saw
kuma
that
was
introduced
into
cncf,
which
is
a
service
mesh
based
on
the
envoy
proxy,
and
you
see
some
of
these
others
based
on
envoy
proxy.
A
You
have
the
smi
which
joined
the
cncf
to
drive
a
spec
for
an
api
around
surface
mesh,
and
you
know,
as
we
go
even
you
know,
at
solo,
we're
working
on
technology
to
help
run
a
service
mesh
across
multiple
clusters
and
so
forth.
So
I
check
out
the
different
meshes
see
some
of
the
talks
that
we're
going
to
part
of
this
track
that
will
cover
these
different
technologies
and,
more
importantly,
the
use
cases
that
and
the
problems
that
these
different
companies
like
allegro
and
equinix
and
sherbank
autodesk.
A
You
know
that
they
had
in
in
their
real
production
environments
that
use
the
mesh
to
to
solve
that.
So
I'm
super
excited
to
see
these
talks.
You
can
see
the
schedule
here.
I
have
a
talk
later
in
the
program
on
multi-cluster
deployments
and
management
and
so
forth,
check
out
these
talks.
A
Representatives
from,
like,
I
said,
kuma
from
linker
d,
from
maish
from
istio
and
and
then
we
we
get
to
the
toward
the
end
of
the
program
where
we
have
my
good
friend,
nick
jackson,
from
hashicorp
representative
of
the
consul
service
mesh
there
he'll
be
he'll,
be
closing
things
down
at
the
end.
A
I
want
to
say
a
big
shout
out
and
big
thanks
to
the
cncf
for
helping
to
persevere
in
these
in
these
times
and
then
keep
this
going
and
sharing
you
know
being
able
to
put
together
the
the
program
committee-
big,
thank
you
to
the
program
committee
for
organizing
this
and
and
getting
to
a
point
where
we
can
continue
to
have
these
these
different
collocated
events
with
kubecon
and
especially
for
service
mesh
con.
