This video is also the opening shot of Layer5's Learn to Service Mesh playlist, which is specifically dedicated to tutorials and webinars. If service mesh tech interests you and you’re willing to learn more about it, then make sure to subscribe to the channel and watch for updates.
And let us know if there’s any specific content you want us to create. Or maybe anything you’ve created yourself and would like to share? Layer5 is all about knowledge sharing and we want to talk to you, so please join the cloud native community!
Happy meshing!
