Adding Sidecars to Cloud Foundry - Gabriel Rosenhouse & Angela Chin, Pivotal

Do your developers want service discovery, client-side load-balancing and mutual TLS security in your polyglot microservices but don't want to code all of that themselves? Then you may be interested in using a Sidecar. Sidecars are a new model for providing modern "glue" features to your microservice constellation, using a mesh of separate process running alongside your apps.

In recent months, Cloud Foundry community members have been investigating how to integrate such systems into CF. 

This talk will introduce sidecar systems, show what benefits they provide to your apps, and illustrate how they can be integrated into Cloud Foundry.
