ContainerDays 2018, Hamburg: Workshop with Josef Adersberger (@adersberger, CTO bei QAware) Abstract: Istio service mesh is a thrilling new tech that helps getting a lot of technical stuff out of your microservices (circuit breaking, observability, mutual-TLS, ...) into the infrastructure - for those who are lazy (aka productive) and want to keep their microservices small. Come one, come all to the Istio playground: (1) We provide a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster. (2) We guide you through the installation of Istio. (3) We bring a small Spring Cloud sample application. (4) We provide assistance in the case you get stuck ... and it's up to you to explore and tinker with Istio on your own paths and with your own pace.
