Meshing Around with Istio

on YouTube ↗01h 01m

" summary

Istio runs as a control plane plus Envoy sidecar data plane on top of Kubernetes, adding mTLS, routing, fault injection, and observability via Prometheus/Jaeger/Kiali. Installation uses istioctl or an operator and injects sidecars per-namespace; current releases add many CRDs (from ~50 to 146 CRDs). Demo deploys the Bookinfo app with three review versions and shows per-user routing (user “jason” gets a specific version), traffic shifting (50/50 canary) and low extra latency (<1 ms), and it works live.
