TBS[12]: Linkerd

In this episode we are going to take a look at Linkerd, the "ultralight service mesh for Kubernetes and beyond'! We will see how Crossplane can be used to configure the service mesh in remote clusters, and will also dive into some of the newest features of the project. Dan is joined by Thomas Rampelberg, who is an engineer at Buoyant, the creators of Linkerd.
