Open Source Summit + ELC North America 2020

Kubernetes has changed how we think about application development, but it has also introduced additional complexity into the way we manage microservices. What is a simple way to extend Kubernetes for highly-available applications at scale?

Ingress management is an important part of your configuration and operations. When services are exposed outside a cluster, you need to take care of authentication, observability to maintain SLOs, auditing, encryption and integrations with other third-party vendors, amongst other things.

This session will take you on a deep dive into the architecture and design of an Ingress layer. Ingress Controllers implement authentication, load-balancing, traffic throttling, transformations, caching, metrics, and logging across Kubernetes clusters.

In this talk, Marco will take the audience through a live demo of how to leverage a Kubernetes Ingress Controller for:
- Basic Ingress
- Auth Protection
- Traffic Transformation
- Rate-limiting
- Encrypted credentials
- Native gRPC routing
- Admission Controller
