Linkerd: Up and Running: A Guide to Operationalizing a Kubernetes-Native Service Mesh

With the massive increase of microservices, operators and developers face far more complexity in their applications today. Service meshes can help you manage this problem by providing a unified control plane to secure, manage, and monitor your entire network. This practical guide shows you how the Linkerd service mesh enables cloud-native developers--including platform and site reliability engineers--to solve the thorny issue of running distributed applications in Kubernetes.

Tech evangelists for Buoyant--the creators of Linkerd--demonstrate how this service mesh can help ensure that your applications are secure, observable, and reliable. YouÃ?Â[ ll understand why Linkerd, the original service mesh, can still claim the lowest time to value of any mesh option available today.
