Istio

wikipedia:Istio (2017-2018) Service mesh provides a way to control how microservices share data with one another. Istio includes APIs that let it integrate into any logging platform, telemetry or policy system.

Istio runs in different environments: on-premise, cloud-hosted, Kubernetes or in virtual machines.

brew install istioctl

History[edit]

Istio was started by teams from Google and IBM in partnership with the Envoy team from Lyft. And it’s been developed fully in the open on GitHub.

Architecture[edit]

Istio’s architecture is divided into the data plane and the control plane. In the data plane, Istio support is added to a service by deploying a sidecar proxy within your environment. This sidecar proxy sits alongside a microservice and routes requests to and from other proxies. Together, these proxies form a mesh network that intercepts network communication between microservices. The control plane manages and configures proxies to route traffic. The control plane also configures components to enforce policies and collect telemetry.^[1] Istio uses an extended version of the Envoy proxy. Envoy is proxy developed in C++^[2]
