Open Networking & Edge Summit 2020

There's a lot of hype around Service Mesh technologies, and it's becoming difficult to separate the hype from reality. Michael Farinacci will discuss workload identities, why it's important in a modern Enterprise network, and how a service mesh can provide adequate security with some challenges along the way. Michael was instrumental in evaluating open source service mesh options while at WeWork, and the eventual production deployment and management of Istio. He will detail the entire process, problems and all, to help the audience better understand what it means to deploy a service mesh in a real company production deployment at scale.
