7:15 - **Cilium and Istio: better together with CAKE - Christian Posta, Global Field CTO @ Solo.io**

Modern application architectures based on microservices, containers, and APIs need a modern approach to networking. Cilium and Istio both provide compelling solutions for different layers in the network but also have some overlap. At KubeCon NA 23 we introduced the concept of the “CAKES stack” -- a modern application networking stack based on best of breed components for networking: Cilium, Ambient mesh (Istio), Kubernetes, Envoy, and SPIFFE/SPIRE. In this talk, we understand how these technologies complement each other to solve challenges around zero trust, observability, traffic policy enforcement, API management and global failover.

Christian Posta (@christianposta) is VP, Global Field CTO at [Solo.io](http://solo.io/). He is the author of "Istio in Action" as well as many other books on cloud-native architecture and is well known in the cloud-native community for being a speaker, blogger (https://blog.christianposta.com) and contributor to various open-source projects in the service mesh and cloud-native ecosystem (Istio, Kubernetes, et. al.). Christian has spent time at government, commercial enterprises as well as web-scale companies and now helps organizations create and deploy large-scale, cloud-native, resilient, distributed architectures. He enjoys mentoring, training and leading teams to be successful with distributed systems concepts, microservices, DevOps, and cloud-native application design.
