The Linkerd team has been hard at work, as always, culminating in the release of Linkerd 2.16! In this Service Mesh Academy, we take a whirlwind tour of all the highlights of this new release.
Linkerd 2.16 starts by adding support for IPv6 and dual-stack clusters, as you may have seen in earlier edge releases, and continues with support for the Gateway API GRPCRoute resource! It also now supports configuring timeouts and retries via annotations on HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute, and their parent Services. Last but not least, for major new features, Linkerd 2.16 introduces an audit mode for authorization policy, allowing you to see what would happen with a policy change before you apply it. And, of course, there’s more: Linkerd 2.16 has a host of smaller features and bugfixes, and we’ll hit the high notes there, too.
