Key benefits

Master the Istio service mesh architecture, building blocks, and functions
Step-by-step instructions with realistic examples focusing on traffic management, routing and rollout scenarios, fault injection, resilience, diagnosability, and security in Istio service meshes
Get hands-on with installing and running the Istio service mesh in Kubernetes

Description

Building microservice architectures is complex. Handling its complexities (such as circuit breaking, rate limiting, observability, or security) is usually left to development teams to implement. Using well known open source frameworks is an option, but this will quickly lead to excessive library bloat and suddenly your services are not quite so micro anymore. This course provides practical hands-on experience in using the Istio service mesh. Instead of implementing cross-cutting concerns within each service, you will see how a service mesh allows you to transparently inject and decorate the desired concerns into individual communication channels. We discuss the conceptual Istio architecture with its main building blocks and how it works. Then demonstrate how to install Istio and use its traffic management, resilience, diagnosability, and security features. By the end of this course, you will be ready to deploy Istio into production and run your next cloud-native microservice architecture. All the code and supporting files for this course are available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Kubernetes-Service-Mesh-with-Istio

Who is this book for?

This video course is for cloud developers, architects, and ops professionals who would like to build, deploy, and run their systems and microservices in an easy, controlled, robust, observable, and secure way. Requirements: Prior knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes is required. Basic programming skills in any language will help you better understand some code samples.

What you will learn

Explore the Istio architecture and its components
Install the Istio service mesh in Kubernetes using Helm (and manually)
Control ingress and egress traffic in the service mesh
Apply path, header, and weight-based routing strategies
Perform Blue/Green and Canary deployments with Istio
Implement service resiliency using timeouts, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and retries
Perform chaos testing by injecting faults and errors
Secure the Istio service mesh with mutual TLS and authentication/authorization policies
Explore and leverage Istio's diagnosability features
