Istio Service Mesh
Hands-on introduction to service meshes with Istio: steer traffic intelligently, secure services with mTLS, distribute resources via policies, and observe with monitoring and logging.
Istio enables the flow of traffic and API calls between services to be intelligently controlled, tested, adapted and secured. Automatically implement authentication and encryption between services. Fairly distribute resources between consumers with policies. Monitor and track activities with extensive monitoring and logging.

More about Istio Service Mesh

History
Istio was founded in May 2017 as an open-source project by Google, IBM, and Lyft. It is built on the Envoy Proxy, originally developed at Lyft, and extends it with a powerful control plane for managing service-to-service communication in Kubernetes clusters.
In 2022, Istio was donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and was recognized as a graduated CNCF project in September 2023. With the introduction of Ambient Mode in Istio 1.18, a sidecar-free alternative to the classic sidecar architecture has been available since 2023, simplifying operations and reducing resource consumption.
