Panel: Ask Me Anything About Istio Service Mesh
summary
Istio ambient hits alpha in Istio 1.18 and aims for beta in 1.22 with a focus on reducing sidecar overhead and infrastructure cost, plus ambient L7 stabilization and a Gateway/GAMMA alignment plan; 1.21 introduces a compatibility version to ease upgrades; 1.22 targets Delta XDS on by default to cut control-plane convergence times; ARM support arrived around 1.15; extensibility centers on WASM/Lua callouts and improving Envoy filter ergonomics; rate‑limit service (Lyft/Redis) is a common production option and IPv6 dual‑stack remains experimental.
