This month, we go into how Kubernetes Services are implemented at HBO w James Polera. He'll discuss using HTTP keep-alive in a micro-service architecture, focusing on how keep-alive configuration can have an impact on autoscaling.

We also welcome Mark McBride, CEO at Turbine Labs. He'll walk us through several traffic control strategies using Envoy, which provides fine grained routing control, load shedding, and metrics that help you scale your Kubernetes environment smoothly.
