Istio Day is open to all OSCON pass holders.

Istio—an open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices—provides an easy way to create a network of deployed services with load balancing, service-to-service authentication, monitoring, and more, without requiring any changes in service code.

At Istio Day, Istio core contributors and members of its broad community of early adopters teach you everything you need to know to get started. Along the way, you'll get hands-on experience from demos and example configurations.
