DevOps Barcelona Warm-up HUG

Hi everyone, we are hosting a HUG before DevOps Barcelona kicks off. We hope to see you!

We will begin at 18:30 with pizza, beer, and introductions.

HashiCorp Developer Advocate, Nic Jackson will give us a talk on Securing Cloud Native Communication, From End User to Service.

Here is his talk abstract:

Everyone building or operating cloud-native applications must understand the fundamentals of security issues and modern threat models. Although this topic is vast, in this talk Nic will focus on the end-to-end communication and higher-level networking threats, and explore how the combination of an edge proxy and service mesh using TLS and mTLS can be used to mitigate many man-in-the-middle attacks.

Key takeaways include:

An understanding of the "three pillars" of service mesh functionality: observability, reliability, and security.

A service mesh is in a unique place to enforce security features like mTLS. Learn how to ensure that there are no exploitable "gaps" within the end-to-end/user-to-service communication path. Explore the differences in ingress/mesh control planes, with brief demonstrations using Ambassador and Consul Connect

After Nic has given his talk, there be a few HashiCorp folks floating around for Q&A.

Thank you for hosting us, King!
