Tutorial: Istio Service Mesh Get Started Workshop
summary
Hands-on workshop provisions a k3s cluster and installs Istio with istioctl demo profile, deploying Envoy sidecars, ingress/egress gateways, Grafana, Jaeger and Kiali; control plane runs as istiod. Labs show install completes in minutes, sample app + virtual service/gateway works, canary routing shifts 20→50→100% and external access is controlled with ServiceEntry. Mutual TLS is issue-wide in strict mode, certificates rotate ~24 hours. Tests and badge require 80% passing; exercises and add-ons (timeouts, retries) all function as demonstrated.
