Webinar Description
Organizations nowadays have realized the benefit of implementing a microservices architecture. They
are deploying applications into Kubernetes spread over multiple clouds and clusters. This cloud-first
approach has given them flexibility and scalability.
However, microservices and multicloud apps give rise to network and security challenges. The
distributed network of microservices across the cloud makes it difficult to handle communication and
secure the data in transit. More than web-based firewalls and perimeter security is needed, and
applying consistent security policies for a plethora of services overwhelms developers.
The idea of service mesh was introduced to help organizations tackle these network and security
challenges. Istio, a widely-used service mesh platform, enables abstracting the network and security
logic from the application to the infrastructure layer.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Network and security challenges with multicloud microservices
- Introduction to Istio service mesh, architecture, and features
- How Istio helps Security teams and SREs - case study
- Demo on how to secure communication (mTLS) between services using Istio
