Buoyant’s Linkerd Production Runbook
A guide to running the world's most advanced service mesh in production
This runbook is meant to be used in conjunction with the official Linkerd docs. While this guide will give you our advice for getting to (and staying in!) production, the docs contain the majority of the information you’ll actually need to understand to be successful with Linkerd. Whenever possible, we’ll point to the relevant docs section from this guide.
This is a living document.” Linkerd moves fast. We’ll update this guide for every release and add our release commentary to the Upgrade Notes.
Finally, please read the important Disclaimer section. We do our best to ensure this doc is accurate, but mistakes, omissions, and inaccuracies do happen. Ultimately, you are responsible for your production systems, not us. (But if you do find an error in the guide, by all means please tell us!)
Let’s get started!
