Create resilient multi-cluster, multi-regional and multi-tenant architectures with Istio and K8s

Presented by Ameer Abbas at IstioCon 2022.

Building distributed applications is hard! Building globally scalable distributed applications is harder! Maintaining and growing these services as your business grows is even harder!

This session takes an opinionated approach on how to create globally scalable platforms on multi-cluster, multi-regional and multi-tenant Kubernetes cluster architectures using Istio.

The session covers (design opinions and reasonings for) the following concepts.

Designing multi-cluster Kubernetes platforms
Application multi-tenancy
Global networking, ingress, multi-cluster load balancing, locality considerations
Security - AuthN, AuthZ, NetPol
Ops - Observability, dashboards
Application and cluster life-cycle management
Demo (on GCP)
