Kubernauts!

We are excited to announce the next San Francisco Kubernetes meetup will be August 22, 2017at Google Launchpad in San Francisco.

If you want to speak or do a 5-min lightning demo, please ping me over meetup or twitter (@baldwinmathew)

Agenda:

6:30 - 7:00 - Social Mixer

7:00 - 7:30 - Karthik Prabhakar-The Istio Service Mesh & it's Value to Kubernetes Networking

A service mesh can provide Kubernetes deployments with application-level policy, security/identity & content routing, & facilitate canary/A-B deployments, tracing, monitoring & other services transparent to applications. We introduce Istio, the newest service mesh for Kubenetes that has gained a lot of fans since it was announced in late May, & describe how it complements other K8s network concepts (like CNI plugins & network policy), leveraging the Envoy proxy developed at Lyft.With Calico (https://projectcalico.org/) as the network plugin & network policy implementation, & Istio (https://istio.io/) as the service mesh, we will demonstrate how within a few minutes one can provision a feature-rich Kubernetes cluster & deploy/manage/secure microservice applications.

7:30 - 8:00 - Zack Butcher -Istio Mixer Deep Dive

We dive in to the Istio Mixer, Istio's engine for applying policy, generating telemetry, & the extensibility point for teams using Istio. We'll cover how Istio proxies communicate with Mixer, how data from Istio proxies & the environment are used to make policy decisions & generate telemetry, & how Mixer can be extended to add your logic to the Istio mesh.

8:00 - 8:20 - Lightning Talks

8:30 - Wrap-Up
