Fundamentals for Envoy Proxy Workshop with Certification Option (AEST Time Zone Event)

Envoy Proxy is a foundational layer for many of the innovations propelling the Kubernetes community, including service meshes and cloud-native API gateways. But many engineers understand it only as a black-box, hidden by simplifying levels of abstraction. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a hands-on workshop that will bridge those gaps in Envoy understanding.

Participants will explore first principles regarding Envoy architecture, filter chains, and a day-in-the-life of a request. Users will then put those principles to work interactively. Every participant will have access to a computing environment via their web browsers to a Kubernetes K3s platform provisioned with Envoy and supporting tools. From there, users will explore the life of a request through a maze of transforms, custom processing with WebAssembly, and request routing. They will further learn to employ standard Envoy tools like metrics, access logging, and the Tap filter to solve real-world problems.

This workshop also includes a certification option. This credential, offered by Solo.io with Credly, certifies that the holder has a foundational understanding of Envoy proxy, including how to construct basic configurations, understand its primary metrics, and solve common problems.

At the completion of the workshop, you will be able to take an assessment and a score 80% or higher earns the certification.

*Duration is approximately 1.5 hours
