Build Reliable Applications with Kubernetes and Istio Using Application Archetypes

Explore the concept of Application Archetypes for building reliable multi-cluster platforms using Kubernetes and Istio in this 33-minute CNCF conference talk by Ameer Abbas and Steve McGhee from Google. Learn how to compose platforms based on specific application needs, considering factors such as cost-efficiency, reliability, RPO/RTO, and resiliency. Discover four primary application archetypes - zonal, regional, multi-regional, and global - and understand which types of applications are best suited for each. Gain insights into creating architecture patterns that fit your specific requirements, enabling both application and platform owners to optimize their multi-cluster setups with Kubernetes and Istio.
