solo.io / Hoot Livestream

Cilium is a solution for providing, securing, and observing network connectivity between workloads. In this video, we'll start with the basics of Kubernetes networking and explain how the Container Network Interface (CNI) plugins, such as Cilium, implement the Kubernetes network model.

GitOps is a set of practices to automate application development and deployment, as noted by the CNCF GitOps WG Charter and its OpenGitOps initiative. We want to explore the intersection of GitOps automation with Service Mesh, how the two trends can help and sustain each other and how they serve the modern quest for platform engineering. Particularly, we want to help understand why both trends are coming of age at this particular time, and what's behind the need for automation and control of cloud native applications and their networking needs, securely and at scale.

In this live stream, Hoot #47, we'll look at certificates in Istio. We'll talk about how to plugin your own CA certificates, rotate them without downtime, and show how to use cert-manager and istio-csr to issue workload certificates.

Istio ambient mesh has graduated from the experimental branch and merged to Istio’s main branch! This is a significant milestone for ambient mesh, paving the way for releasing ambient in Istio 1.18 and installing it by default in Istio’s future releases. Join us in this upcoming hoot livestream where John Howard and Lin Sun, members of Istio Technical Oversight Committee, provide the latest update on Istio ambient service mesh and the new Rust-based ztunnel.

Istio supported metrics, tracing, and logs since the beginning when we launched Istio, without application developers needing to do anything other than injecting the sidecars and propagating the B3 trace headers. While telemetry works great for single cluster, how does it work with massive volumes of telemetry for large multi-cluster Istio service mesh deployments?

In this Livestream, we will review some of the scalability challenges we have for collecting telemetries for Goo mesh, why we decided to leverage Open Telemetry to tackle our scalability issues, and how it worked with live demos!

In this Hoot live stream series we dig into Envoy, the cloud-native proxy technology that drives the data plane for major service meshes (Istio, Consul Connect, AWS AppMesh, etc) and API Gateways like Gloo. Starting from the fundamentals, each demo-filled episode focuses on one functional area like observability, customization, security and more -- to help you get a deep understanding of how Envoy Proxy works, it’s role in cloud-native application architecture, and how to use it.

Hosted every other Tuesday starting on July 21st at 1pm Eastern / 10am Pacific Time.
* Envoy Architectural Overview and Fundamentals

Hoot Series: Networking at the Edge - Proxies, Ingress and API Gateways

How we need to handle application networking for Kubernetes and cloud-native platforms and how we solve them have evolved. In the “Get to Know Service Mesh” series, we looked at how service mesh technology solves some of these problems. In this series, we explore proxies, ingress, API gateways, and how they solve challenges at the edge and how they complement a service mesh to provide a holistic solution.

Join us online to learn more about the terminology and technologies used to facilitate and manage incoming traffic from external clients and end users into your backend application services. We will look at ingress solutions like NGINX, HA Proxy, and Envoy Proxy as well as API Gateways such as Kong, Ambassador, Gloo and more.

Episodes in this series:
* All About Proxies: Get the facts - Comparing Proxies, Ingress vs. API Gateway vs. Service Mesh
* Datawire Ambassador
* Kong
* Containous Traefik
* VMware Contour
* Solo.io Gloo

Interested in having our crew unbox another API gateway or Ingress Controller or have a question? DM us at https://slack.solo.io or https://twitter.com/soloio_inc.

Hoot is a livestream by engineers talking about and trying out new technology.

Get to Know Service Mesh

We kick this off with a series on service mesh - each episode will look into a different service mesh provider.
* Istio
* Linkerd
* Consul
* AWS App Mesh
* More meshes like Kuma and Maesh
* Compare and contrast the different service meshes, explain their unique features and how to choose which one(s) to use for your applications.
