Istio 1.0 was released almost 2 years ago, and the project is now moving at a steady state delivering new features and stability improvements with every release. In this session we will look at some of the additions to Istio from 1.0 to 1.5, including Istio as a CNI plugin, the shift from Mixer to Envoy for telemetry, consolidating of Istio’s components to a monolith, namespace isolation between Virtual Services, and more..

18:45-19:15: Bridging Kubernetes and external services under a single mesh, Ariel Shuper
Lots of containerized apps consume resources and services located outside their Kubernetes clusters. How can we apply the service mesh mesh model in this case? In this talk we'll examine how Istio can help you expand your network and security policies resources across Kubernetes cluster and other external services (on-prem resources, cloud managed services, etc).
