Big thanks to our 2 platinum sponsors Sysdig and Tigera for making our events possible in 2018 - and, the fine folks at Harvest for hosting this event.

As Istio moves closer to the 1.0 release, let's do a quick review of the recent 0.8 release. Istio community continues to gain momentum with increasing features and capabilities integrated with the platform.

First up, Ariel will demonstrate some of the traffic management functionality they've integrated into Stackpoint.io. Then, Cody will demonstrate Tigera’s Calico Application Policy with Istio and how you can leverage it for integrated security with your applications incorporating cryptographic identities and network layer attributes.
