What you'll learn

  • Explore how Wish uses Kubernetes

Description

Consul is a well-known and widely used service discovery mechanism. Wish has standardized on using Consul for quite some time. And although Kubernetes has a built-in service discovery mechanism, Wish wants to continue to use Consul as its primary service discovery mechanism. Thomas Jackson explains how Wish is leveraging Kubernetes and integrating it with its infrastructure.

This session is sponsored by Wish.
