Lin Sun - Embracing the Future: The Effortless Mutual TLS and Traffic Control Without Sidecars

In today's environments, sidecars have become the dominant choice for implementing mutual TLS, traffic management and rich Layer 7 authorization policies. However, sidecars require applications to restart after being added to the mesh, causing unnecessary overprovisioning of resources. In this presentation, Lin will explain the key advantages of sidecar-less architecture and demonstrate live how both developers and operators can enjoy mTLS and traffic control without any effort or sidecars!
