Future of Service Mesh: Sidecar or Sidecarless or Proxyless?

This panel brings together experts from Google, IBM, Solo.io, and Microsoft to discuss the future of service mesh architectures. They explore the evolution from traditional sidecar patterns to sidecarless and proxyless approaches, considering factors like performance, operational complexity, and the role of proxies like Envoy. The discussion also touches upon the potential of eBPF in service meshes, the importance of mTLS for security, and the future direction of service mesh technology towards becoming more integrated and less noticeable within Kubernetes environments.
