Ambient Q+A
Speakers: Eric VanNorman, Louis Ryan, Neeraj Poddar, Lin Sun, John Howard, Mitch Connors
It's been a year since the Istio Project announced work on our ambitious Ambient mode. Much has been promised about how Ambient will reduce resource consumption, improve operations, ease onboarding, and solve world peace. This panel will explore how Ambient Mode has and has not achieved the expectations set for it. Rather than hearing from engineers who built Ambient, we will hear from end users who have experimented with Ambient in Development and Staging environments, to hear their initial impressions. At the end of this panel, attendees should have a better understanding of what problems Ambient is ready to solve today, and contributors should have a better idea of how to improve Ambient Mode in the future.
