Show Overview: Brian and Tyler discuss the basics of Service Meshes, such as Istio, Envoy and Linkerd. Show Notes:Istio HomepageEnvoy HomepageLinkerd HomepageIntroduction to modern network load balancing and proxyingOpenShift Commons Briefing #103: Microservices and Istio on OpenShiftSidecars and a Microservices MeshVideos from CNCF / KubeConService Mesh is a layer that manages the communication between apps (or between parts of the same app, e.g. microservices) Just as applications shouldn’t be writing their own TCP stack, they also shouldn’t be managing their own load balancing logic, or their own service discovery management, or their own retry and timeout logic. - link Mesh: A group of hosts that coordinate to provide a consistent network topology. In this documentation, an “Envoy mesh” is a group of Envoy proxies that form a message passing substrate for a distributed system comprised of many different services and application platforms. - link Topic 1 - What is a Service Mesh?Service Discovery Routing Load-Balancing Fault Injection Circuit Breaking A/B Deployments Blue/Green Deployments Canary Deployments Traffic Limiting Tracing Security Services (e.g. Mutual TLS)Topic 2 - Didn’t developers build Microservices before Service Meshes?Topic 3 - How does a Container or Kubernetes interact with a Service Mesh?Feedback?Email: PodCTL at gmail dot comTwitter: @PodCTL Web: http://podctl.com
