Setting Sail with Istio [B]
summary
Installs Istio v0.12 onto a vanilla Kubernetes 1.8.2 cluster via the upstream Helm chart, registers the Envoy sidecar injection (initializer), and deploys the bookinfo app (reviews v1–v3) to prove it works. Demonstrates Pilot as the control plane, Mixer for policy/telemetry, a built‑in CA for mutual TLS managed by Istio CA, and egress/ingress routing. Shows live Prometheus/Grafana dashboards and Zipkin tracing + Prometheus metrics from real traffic, plus fault injection and canary routing — all functioning in the demo.
