Think of containers as the packaging for microservices that separate the content from its environment – the underlying operating system and infrastructure. This opens the door to auto-scalable applications, which effortlessly matches the demands of rapidly growing and varying user traffic. What is Docker? What is Kubernetes?

Making applications observable—relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and how it’s performing—has become increasingly important as workloads are shifting to multicloud environments. We also introduced our demo app and explained how to define the metrics and traces it uses. How can we verify that?

The Envoy proxies also collect and report telemetry on all traffic among the services in the mesh. Why do you need a service mesh?

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion.

Shared caches must make sense within this value system. That is unlikely given the need for SRI annotations or the unbecoming practice of speeding up high-traffic sites, but not others. One challenge for fair inclusion is the tension between site-count-weighting and traffic-weighting. That's how much wire size matters.

One could argue this is a metric-driven decision. When they dug into the data, they found that the reason load times had increased was that they got a lot more traffic from Africa after doing the optimizations. Lots of case studies where changes in performance led to key metric improvement. Well, not so fast.
