Throughout the book, you learned about and practiced various concepts of Service Mesh and how to apply them using Istio. It is strongly recommended that you practice the hands-on examples in each chapter.

In this chapter, we will revise the concepts discussed in this book by implementing Istio for an Online Boutique application. It will be a good idea to look at scenarios presented in this chapter and try to implement them yourself before looking at code examples. I hope reading this last chapter provides you with more confidence in using Istio. We will go through the following topics in this chapter:
- Enforcing best practices using OPA Gatekeeper
- Applying the learnings of this book to a sample Online Boutique application...
