Book Description
Your Microservices Are Distributed. Your Control Plane Shouldn't Be.
Implementing Microservices on Kubernetes has introduced serious challenges in networking, security, observability, and/ reliability. Hence, Istio has emerged as the leading service mesh platform for solving them at enterprise scale. Ultimate Istio for Service Mesh Implementation gives you a practical, enterprise-focused guide to designing and deploying Istio service mesh architectures that are secure, observable, and production-ready.
You begin with core service mesh concepts and Istio fundamentals, then progressively advance through traffic management, mTLS security, authorization policies, and observability with distributed tracing, and resiliency patterns, including canary releases, fault injection, and circuit breaking. Every chapter is grounded in real-world implementation examples that reflect actual enterprise deployments.
What you will learn
● Deploy and manage a production-grade Istio service mesh in Kubernetes environments.
● Implement zero-trust networking using mTLS, certificate management, and authorization policies.
● Configure advanced traffic routing, canary releases, and progressive delivery strategies.
