Linkerd is bringing a couple of new features into the world! Egress metrics, egress control, and cluster-agnostic Services are major additions to Linkerd for the 2.17 release, giving Linkerd new capabilities to manage real-world applications gracefully.
Linkerd's new capabilities around egress metrics allow Linkerd to measure and report on traffic leaving your cluster for the outside world. Egress control, on the other hand, extends Linkerd's policy functionality to dictate which traffic is allowed. Finally, cluster agnostic Services let Kubernetes Services seamlessly span all your clusters in a multicluster setup, simplifying high-reliability application design.
Join us to learn about these new features and what they can do!
This is a hands-on workshop, so it's important that you arrive prepared with a Kubernetes cluster, local Backstage workspace, and the Linkerd CLI installed on your machine! We'll use BEL 2.17. Check out the BEL Getting Started Guide for specific instructions on how to set that up.(If you don't want to do the hands-on portion, you are welcome to just listen in. But it won't be as fun!)
Flynn is a tech evangelist at Buoyant, where he works on spreading the good word about Linkerd — the graduated CNCF service mesh that makes the fundamental tools for software security and reliability freely available to every engineer — and about Kubernetes and cloud-native development in general. Flynn is also the original author and a maintainer of the Emissary-ingress API gateway, also a CNCF project.
Flynn's career in computing spans nearly forty years and runs the gamut from bringup on bare metal to distributed applications, with a common thread of communications and security throughout. He has spoken about Linkerd, Emissary-ingress, and other cloud native technologies at several conferences, including KubeCon/CloudNativeCon, DevOps Days, and the NYC Kubernetes meetup.
