Service Mesh at Scale: How Xbox Cloud Gaming Secures 22k Pods with Linkerd - Christopher Voss, Microsoft

During this session, Chris Voss, Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, will share how Microsoft deployed Linkerd to apply mutual TLS, observability, and reliability to 22,000 meshed pods across 26 clusters. Xbox Cloud Gaming is Microsoft's game streaming service. With over 300 games available in 26 countries. The app is massive: 26 clusters across 18 regions, each with 50+ microservices and 700 to 1,000 pods — all of which are meshed with Linkerd. Chris will cover Xbox Cloud Gaming's Kubernetes and Linkerd journey, including how they: * Applied mutual TLS to 22k pods with zero config * Reduced pod/container monitoring cost by thousands of dollars using Linkerd observability * Integrated Prometheus, Linkerd, Flagger and Azure ADO for progressive delivery.
