Istio | Service Mesh
A service mesh is a software layer that manages communication between services in an application. It's often used in microservices architectures. Istio is an open-source service mesh platform that controls how microservices share data. It controls the flow of traffic, enforces policies, and monitors communications in a microservices environment. It includes APIs that let Istio integrate into any logging platform, telemetry, or policy system. Istio can run in a variety of on-premise, cloud, containerized, and virtualized environments. Why Istio? Istio simplifies complex microservice architectures by offering: Traffic Management: Route requests dynamically, ensuring smooth traffic flow. Security: Add mTLS (mutual TLS) to secure communications. Observability: Get insights into service performance with telemetry. "Istio is not just a tool—it's your gateway to mastering cloud-native efficiency."
