Kubernetes has become a preferred platform for hosting distributed and portable services and applications. With this, Istio service mesh can be deployed to address service discovery, service-to-service authentication and encryption, traffic management, metrics, monitoring, and more. The practice of using a service mesh within a Kubernetes cluster is well known, but what if you want to integrate new services with legacy? This session will show how to use a technique called mesh expansion to achieve interoperation of applications and services, split across Kubernetes and traditional VM or bare metal hosts. Specific examples will demonstrate how to: - Send requests from VM workloads to Kubernetes services - Run services on a VM that is part of a mesh expansion
