Envoy Proxy from the Edge to Service Mesh and Beyond

Kubernetes has changed how we design and deploy applications, and with that how we network these services together and expose them to external clients and end users. Enter Envoy, a popular proxy that is driving the modern application data plane and is the basis for many service meshes. However this also causes a bit of confusion between proxies, gateways, and service mesh.

In this talk we'll cover the role of Envoy at the edge and in the mesh, the functionality of the proxy, and how these proxies are controlled via the control plane.

This talk will be given by Lawrence Gadban from Solo.io. Lawrence is a Field Engineer at Solo.io working with customers and end users to architect and deploy modern application networks.
