        Edge Gateways are the first stop from the outside world before reaching your application services, meaning that they have the ability to control all of the traffic. In this talk we'll use Istio, Web Assembly, Envoy andGloo Edge community edition to cover:
        - What the difference is between Gateways vs Ingress vs Service Mesh Ingress Gateways
        - High level Architecture of the API Gateway (Control Plane/Data Plane)
        - How to rate limit services
        - How to transform header information before it gets to your application
        - How to provide authentication using Oauth2 OIDC with Google as the identity provider
        - How to filter network requests to a Kubernetes service by hostname for added security
        - How to rewrite your application routes
        - How to encrypt cluster traffic with mutual TLS
        - How to apply these principles in a demo
