Istio on Kubernetes: Chaos, Canaries, Dark Launches

on YouTube ↗47m

" summary

Live demo shows Istio layered on Kubernetes/OpenShift, running a three‑service app (customer → preference → recommendation) with Envoy sidecar intercepting traffic and giving Jaeger tracing and metrics. Deployments include blue‑green and finely sliced canaries (down to 1% traffic or 50/50 splits), circuit breakers and chaos injection fault tests. Examples run locally (minishift/minikube) and on AWS/Azure/GCP; a scripted demo sometimes trips on an x.509/pilot certificate error that requires restarting control‑plane components.
