Managing Kubernetes Deployment with Istio
summary
Demo builds a microservice storefront with product, details and three reviews versions and shows Istio v1.1.7 driving traffic splits—90/10 then 50/50 then 100% blue‑green shift—and header‑based routing so anyone named Jason routes to v3. Data plane uses Envoy sidecar proxy with Pilot for config, Mixer for metrics/policy and Citadel for certificates. Features shown: retry, fault injection, circuit breaking, Prometheus/DataDog telemetry integration and mTLS between services. Demo succeeds; caveat is measurable CPU overhead so evaluate if the features justify the cost.
