In this episode

Linkerd is the first service mesh, and it is still - by far - the least stressful way to add security, reliability, and observability to any Kubernetes cluster. Using a mesh to add these critical functions at the platform layer means your application developers don’t need to worry about them! Join us to learn how it all works, and how Linkerd means we can have enterprise power without enterprise complexity!
