Chapter 7: Understanding the Istio Service Mesh

1. Layer 7 – This is the network layer that the service mesh works on.
2. All of the above.
3. False – The Istio control plane is not a single point of failure since applications can continue to run without a control plane,
4. True – A true service mesh is formed through a data plane where there's an Envoy sidecar proxy next to each microservice, which helps achieve service mesh functions.
5. False – Istio can span multiple Kubernetes clusters through a replicated control plane, a shared control plane using a single network and a shared control plane using a multi-network.
6. True – At the time of writing, Istio service discovery integration with Consul is in its alpha phase.
7. False – This should be the other way around. Pilot pushes configuration to Envoy, which manages traffic.
8. False – Istio...
