Linkerd is the first service mesh, and it is still - by far - the least stressful way to add security, reliability, and observability to any Kubernetes cluster. Using a mesh to add these critical functions at the platform layer means your application developers don’t need to worry about them! Join us to learn how it all works, and how Linkerd means we can have enterprise power without enterprise complexity!

Reliability is critical to any Kubernetes application, and a service mesh is pivotal in enhancing it. With a service mesh, operators can implement various mechanisms that contribute to the overall resilience and fault tolerance of their Kubernetes infrastructure.

Observability is key to understanding the inner workings of a Kubernetes application, and a service mesh is a powerful tool for enhancing observability within a Kubernetes app.

The zero trust model is a way to answer one of the most important questions in network security: is X allowed to access Y?

In this talk, maintainers from the Linkerd project will present an overview of the project and an update on upcoming releases.

The recent popularity of eBPF has triggered a number of discussions of whether this technology will revolutionize the service mesh space. The promise of all the benefits that a service mesh can bring to your cloud-native infrastructure at a fraction of the performance and operational cost seems tantalizing.
