Open Service Mesh Crash Course!

For this month, we have Rahul Rai, telling us about the joys of Open Service Mesh to orchestrate and communicate between microservices. Of course, there is also some Kubernetes goodness included!

== Open Service Mesh Crash Course! ==
In this session, we will discuss the fundamentals of OSM, its use cases, and configurations and learn how OSM can take care of almost all of the service management issues for new and existing applications. In this demo-packed session, we will install OSM on an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster and implement common microservices networking patterns on a set of microservices.

**Value to Attendees**
This session will help attendees get familiar with OSM concepts and patterns. Then, through a series of demos, they will learn to apply the patterns to enterprise scenarios. The following are the key takeaways from the session:
· Understand the value proposition of Service meshes
· Introduction to OSM and SMI
· Manage inter-microservice communication
· Manage the security of microservices
· Make microservices observable
· Implement common microservice networking patterns
