Istio: Up and Running
You did it. You successfully transformed your application into a microservices architecture. But now that you’re running microservices across different environments—public to public, private to public, virtual machine to container—your cloud native software is beginning to encounter reliability issues.

You did it. You successfully transformed your application into a microservices architecture. But now that you’re running microservices across different environments—public to public, private to public, virtual machine to container—your cloud native software is beginning to encounter reliability issues.
How do you stay on top of this ever-increasing complexity? Simple: you run the Istio service mesh. With Istio, you’ll be able to manage traffic, control access, monitor, report, get telemetry data, manage quota, trace, and more with resilience across your microservice.
In this book, Matthew Baldwin and Lee Calcote explain why your services need a service mesh, and demonstrate how Istio fits into the lifecycle of a distributed application. You’ll learn about tools and APIs for enabling and managing many of the features found in Istio.
