Sharpen That Edge! How a Service Mesh Enhances EdgeComputeOps - Marino Wijay & Kevin Dorosh, Solo.io

Sometimes you go all in on the cloud; sometimes you need to sharpen that Edge a bit. When pursuing Edge Computing, the largest considerations for adoption are: - Ease of deployment - Zero-trust security posture - Resource allocation and consumption - Telemetry and Observability - Latency and application response times - Resilience and reliability Large enterprises in heavily regulated industries or the public sector must adopt practices like a zero-trust security posture both inside and at the edge of its application networks. They must simultaneously be able to determine application performance through telemetry, and mitigate issues. They need to ensure the resilience & reliability of the edge in the face of catastrophe, like a cluster or region failure. What's the right approach to meeting these conditions? Enter Ambient Mesh, the perfect vehicle for meeting these challenges! This talk dives into how Ambient Mesh offers a revolutionary data-plane architecture for Edge Computing. Ambient Mesh can configure both perimeter and internal proxies to deploy an enhanced security posture while slashing operational complexity and enabling incremental mesh adoption, all while reducing cost and computational overhead at the Edge.
