Title: Best Practices for Debugging your Kubernetes Clusters

Speaker: Risha Mars who is a Software Engineer at Buoyant and works on the Linkerd2 control plane, writing APIs, CLIs and dashboards using Go and Javascript. Previously, she worked on the Ads team at Twitter, on internal ads tooling and dashboards.

Summary: Kubernetes is a widely used orchestration platform, increasingly in support of microservices architectures. Developers are being tasked with managing the development, deployment, and production of services atop Kubernetes. While Kubernetes can automatically keep your service up in the event of failure or a software crash, it doesn’t provide visibility into how your service is behaving.

In this talk, we will walk through how to debug and monitor your service on Kubernetes and troubleshoot some common issues using the CNCF project, Linkerd. This will be a live demo and no previous Kubernetes experience is required.
