Istio: Real world scenarios
summary
Explains concrete Istio setups: Envoy sidecars plus Pilot/Citadel/Mixer drive advanced routing (geo, vendor headers, A/B and canary with 1%→100% weights), Kiali for topology, Prometheus and Jaeger for metrics/traces, and use cases like bank POS firmware targeting and dark launches via traffic mirroring and fault injection. Reports two customers piloting these patterns (not GA), no production rollouts yet, and expected runtime overhead below ~10% from proxies and telemetry.
