Bridging Divides with Cilium Cluster Mesh and Containerized Routing

(There are more seats available via CNCF site)

Welcome to our first meetup for the new year of 2024, where we dive into the cutting-edge realms of multi-cloud networking and containerized routing. Our distinguished speakers will unravel the intricacies of harnessing the power of Cilium Cluster Mesh and Service Mesh for seamless multi-cloud connectivity. Additionally, we'll explore the uncharted territories of containerized routing, where our second speaker, a Kubernetes Lead Architect, shares his unconventional journey in containerizing an open-source routing stack for a unique blend of projects, including hosting a Minecraft server and a WordPress site.

If you are interested at learning more about Cilium, there is a workshop at the same location during the day that you can sign up for: link here
