Panel: Ask Me Anything: Microservices and Service Mesh [B] - Moderated by Jason McGee, IBM

Have you heard the buzz around microservices and containers lately? With containers becoming the new standard to building microservice based applications for production, users are leveraging the service mesh to solve common issues with routing, re-routing for graceful degradation as services fail, secure inter-service communication and rate limiting between services. Join us for a live interactive session where our panel of experts from IBM, Google, Envoy, Linkerd and RedHat will address your most challenging inquiries around microservice and service mesh!
