 Yeah, so hey everyone, I'm glad to be here. I'm here to talk about how a lack of features actually became a feature for us for a project at the HMM an automaker and Also operational simplicity. So let's get started Here are a few things about me. So I would consider myself just an average everyday engineer. I recently graduated University I'm really passionate about open source software. Basically, that's what brought me here I'm currently working on serverless data pipelines and data lakes So no kubernetes there like at all I'm bummed out about that one, but yeah, I try to make up for it in my free time I have a pair of kubernetes certificates, which we will circle back to later And I'm really proud to have received the link of the hero world back in July And here are a few ways you can reach out to me feel free to do so if you have any questions So let's get started quick agenda. We will try to get a definition around what operational simplicity is Talk about this project for this German automaker and our results with linker D. What's the price? So operational simplicity my definition of Operational simplicity is that an infrastructure is operation is simple if it is well documented Has well defined requirements tries to minimally serve those requirements give word minimally and accomplishes all these with loosely Coupled components, so you will see all these attributes in our solution and in our goals for this company so Slightly last in a year ago. We were approached by this major German automaker They had like this big list of requirements for the Kubernetes clusters basically just MTL us But at this point I had like no service mesh experience didn't know what MTL us was I mean, of course, I knew what TLS was but not MTL us It had a five-week deadline so five weeks to roll out a service match to three casters Like go through all the compliance and security checks like I mean five weeks plenty So I brought out the CNCF landscape looked at the service matches and yes So the decision was not that easy to make Pismant like two or three weeks just prototyping things Yeah, trying to add different things even the one of the Solutions provided natively by the cloud provider, but they don't really succeed. So We decided to just move on and try to define some goals so we decided to try to not introduce a lot of moving parts into the Current infrastructure because they had plenty like plenty gateway solutions compliant stuff and make the solution maintainable So after we were done with implementing they would have to maintain this solution themselves Try to keep everyone sanity everyone happy have a shallow learning curve for the tools and in for just the essentials And yeah, so you can see that it would mean just well documented stuff documenting everything that we do and So our solution to all of this was linker deep the event from no mesh to mesh fully meshed in around two weeks with all the configurations Linker deep has all the compliance and security checks So no problems there and we only had to do some minor adjustments like security context changes and Also just pushing all the images to the company's private registry and yes So the internals were really easy to document we were able to just if we're back to the documentation of the official linker the documentation at lots of places and the performance impact was honestly really negligible So it's it was we had really similar results with our benchmarks to one of the posts published by buoyant while comparing the Istio to linker deep so Relicate performance says all around and yep, so we were really happy with this experience so Closing thoughts you can find the presentation with that QR code and we will have around table discussion Around developer experience around linker day tooling at 5 30 so feel free to join me I would love to chat or just stop me at KubeCon at any time and Yeah, I would like to close with one of the ship it podcast episodes one of the titles of it from Gerhard Lazo Which I try to live by which is do the right thing do what works and be kind Thank you Thank you Dominic will also be available for questions here I'll take this opportunity to point out the round table discussions that will be happening over lunch right over finished here as well Wow, that was loud. Yeah, so yeah, thank you
