Intro to Service Meshes: Data Planes, Control Planes, and More | The Open Source Show

Summary: Armon Dadgar (@armon), HashiCorp CTO and co-founder joins Aaron Schlesinger (@arschles) to school him on all things service meshes. You'll understand what a service mesh actually does, when and why it makes sense to use them, the role of observability, and the differences between data planes and control planes (and what's relevant to app developers). Armon makes concepts real with specific examples and analogies, Aaron sees how to easily apply it to his favorite project (Kubernetes, of course) and they sign off with their favorite resources, so you can apply to your apps. 00:30 What is a service mesh? 01:26 Do I need a service mesh? 02:41 The role of observability 03:36 Control planes vs data planes 05:50 Service mesh + Kubernetes Learn more Create a free Azure account Read more about Console on Azure: Part I Part II Check out Azure Friday featuring HashiCorp Visit HashiCorp resources: HashiCorp Consul HashiCorp Getting Started Tutorials Watch our episode on Intrumenting Observability Follow @ armon Follow @arschles Follow @openatmicrosoft
