Buoyant Cloud: See What Your Mesh Is Telling You

You've deployed Linkerd. Your services have mTLS, your traffic is observable, and your platform team is sleeping better at night. So what comes next?

Buoyant Cloud, a feature of Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd, delivers health monitoring, alerting, and deep operational visibility across all your clusters. In this Service Mesh Academy, we'll explore what Buoyant Cloud puts at your fingertips: traffic success rates, failure breakdowns, golden metrics for your workloads, events, and more. Join us for a live demo of what operational visibility really looks like.

‍

• Learn how Buoyant Cloud surfaces traffic metrics, success rates, and failures across your services
• Understand how health monitoring and alerting keeps you ahead of issues before they become outages
• Know how to navigate Buoyant Cloud and put its insights to work in your day-to-day operations

This is a hands-on workshop, so it's important that you arrive prepared with a Kubernetes cluster (pretty much any kind will do!) and the Linkerd CLIs installed on your machine! We'll use Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd version 2.18, but Linkerd edge releases starting with edge-25.4.4 will work just fine, too. Check out the BEL Getting Started Guide for specific instructions on how to set that up. (As always, if you don’t want to do the hands-on portion, you are welcome to just listen in. But it won’t be as fun!)
