This year’s KubeCon conference in Seattle was electrifying. There is a ton of energy around Kubernetes, and with the increasing interest and adoption, service meshes are gaining recognition as the way to better manage Kubernetes clusters at runtime. Istio was one of the most popular topics – in break-out sessions and on the expo floor.
It was exciting to get pulled aside in the hallways and crowded at our booth to answer questions about working with Istio, and ways that Aspen Mesh is addressing some of the hurdles of using a powerful but complex open source tool. One of the solutions I was excited to discuss was our Istio vetters, and how we make sure our users know their Authorization Policies and configurations are correct.
