One API to Rule Them All - Gateway API and Service Meshes
Explore the impact of the Kubernetes Gateway API on service mesh unification in this 32-minute conference talk. Delve into the evolution of the service mesh ecosystem over the past five years, examining the challenges posed by API and feature sprawl across various implementations. Learn about historical efforts to standardize the service mesh landscape and discover how the new Kubernetes Gateway API could potentially solve these issues. Gain insights into common mesh features like advanced traffic routing and policy enforcement, including authentication, authorization, timeouts, and retries. Join speakers Keith Mattix from Microsoft and John Howard from Google as they discuss the potential for a unified API to streamline cloud-native development and simplify life for end-users and tooling providers in the Kubernetes ecosystem.
