In this talk, maintainers from the Linkerd project will present an overview of the project and an update on upcoming releases. They'll cover what Linkerd is and how it compares to other service meshes; what the latest features and functionality are; what to expect in upcoming releases; and how you can get involved in one of the CNCF's most talked-about projects. This talk will cover Linkerd's modular control plane (2.10) and upcoming policy (2.11) features, as well as the latest on Linkerd's Rust micro-proxy, Linkerd2-proxy.
