Workshop
Service Mesh Kick-Starter with Istio
We will provision a Kubernetes cluster using GKE. Onto this we'll install Istio.
I'll take you through the principles of Istio's operation, and its various components. Then we'll deploy a sample app and show what Istio is doing to the traffic. With these in place, we'll explore the traffic observability features of Istio. Lastly, we'll perform some traffic control; setting up HTTP-aware canaries and a/b tests.
