IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the nature of tutorials, this session has been placed in a smaller capacity room to help facilitate a conducive learning environment. Space is very limited and seating will be given on a first come-first serve basis. The tutorial will be recorded and viewed on the CNCF YouTube channel after the event concludes. Thank you for your understanding.

In the adoption of cloud native technologies engineers find one of the greatest challenges is the management of services in distributed systems. Service management challenges include service discovery, load balancing, fault tolerance, end-to-end monitoring, dynamic routing for canary deployments and securing communication. Istio solves these problems by providing a layer of infrastructure between the services and network that allows service communication to be controlled outside the application code.

During this workshop you will gain hands-on experience as we walk through deploying Istio alongside microservices running in Kubernetes. In a series of hands-on labs, we see:

• Traffic Management, Resilient Communication and Load Balancing
• Policy Enforcement and Rate Limiting
• Telemetry, Monitoring and Reporting
• Securing Communication
• Canary Deployments
