Unlocking the Power of Kuma Service Mesh: Enhancing Reliability and Developer Productivity - Deepak Verma & Arpit Mishra, Zomato

Wednesday August 6, 2025 4:30pm - 5:00pm IST

Hall 2

This session delves into Zomato's journey of adopting Kuma Service Mesh to manage over 500 microservices with 10,000 dataplanes. The session begins by addressing common challenges in service communication, such as observability gaps, insecure traffic, and inconsistent configurations across environments, and explore how Kuma Service Mesh resolves these issues.

The presentation highlights how Kuma standardises configurations, minimises debugging efforts, and improves application performance, thereby reducing developer overhead. A key focus is on leveraging Kuma to enhance developer workflows through local-preview environments, allowing dynamic traffic routing to local services based on headers. This facilitates rapid iteration and debugging.

Additionally, we will discuss our roadmap for utilising Kuma's zone-aware routing to reduce cross-zone data transfer, lowering costs and enhancing efficiency.

Rewriting the Rules: Why Kubernetes Is Moving To NFTables - Daman Arora & Yash Kumar Singh, Broadcom

Wednesday August 6, 2025 5:10pm - 5:40pm IST

Hall 2

This session will explore why NFTables offer clear advantages over IPTables and IPVS, especially in large-scale production environments from both maintainers and end users perspective. We’ll share a user story who faced persistent issues with IPTables, saw some success with IPVS, and finally solved their scalability problems by migrating to NFTables. From a maintainers perspective we will showcase how and why NFTable outperforms the other proxy modes. We’ll provide performance insights and discuss kernel compatibility.
We will also discuss NFTables compatibility with various CNI providers and plugins, and how NFTables support is already integrated in many environments, providing a smoother transition. Attending this session you will get an indepth understanding of behavioral changes when migrating from IPTables and IPVS to NFTables, including key metrics to track.
