Understanding performance in Istio 1.2

Istio 1.2 just shipped! Let’s do a run through of everything that’s new and updated in the latest release of Istio. Then let’s do a deep dive on how you too can test your service mesh deployment and measure latency and overhead, in a repeated manner, for your own clusters. Understanding performance helps inform how to right-size your clusters and how to interpret the impact of a service mesh.

Istio the easy way with SuperGloo and Service Mesh Hub

Our mission is to help users adopt and use service mesh. This session will explain how the open source SuperGloo Project and the Service Mesh Hub dashboard make it easy for anyone to get started with Istio -- from install, configuration to operations -- and also extend your service with new functionality like canary deployments, chaos engineering, observability and more.
