Service mesh is the future of application connectivity. It delivers immediate value to any architecture by increasing application traffic’s security, reliability and observability. At the same time, it can be challenging to understand and deploy service mesh in production, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Kuma, an open source CNCF sandbox project, takes a new approach to service mesh to build modern architectures across various platforms, including Kubernetes and virtual machines.

Kuma is a universal control plane that addresses the complexity of service mesh technologies by enabling seamless management of any service on the network.

This session will cover:

• How to quickly set up service mesh.
• How to automatically enable security and observability
• An introduction to new concepts and products to better enable developers and architects at any skill level to become comfortable with service mesh.
