Bootstrapping Service Mesh Implementations with Istio

By: Anand Rai

Overview of this book

Istio is a game-changer in managing connectivity and operational efficiency of microservices, but implementing and using it in applications can be challenging. This book will help you overcome these challenges and gain insights into Istio's features and functionality layer by layer with the help of easy-to-follow examples. It will let you focus on implementing and deploying Istio on the cloud and in production environments instead of dealing with the complexity of demo apps.  You'll learn the installation, architecture, and components of Istio Service Mesh, perform multi-cluster installation, and integrate legacy workloads deployed on virtual machines. As you advance, you'll understand how to secure microservices from threats, perform multi-cluster deployments on Kubernetes, use load balancing, monitor application traffic, implement service discovery and management, and much more. You’ll also explore other Service Mesh technologies such as Linkerd, Consul, Kuma, and Gloo Mesh. In addition to observing and operating Istio using Kiali, Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger, you'll perform zero-trust security and reliable communication between distributed applications. After reading this book, you'll be equipped with the practical knowledge and skills needed to use and operate Istio effectively.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The configuration patch is applied to HTTP_FILTER and in particular to the HTTP router filter of the http_connection_manager network filter.”

A block of code is set as follows:

"filterChainMatch": {
                    "destinationPort": 80,
                    "transportProtocol": "raw_buffer"
                },

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

"filterChainMatch": {
                    "destinationPort": 80,
                    "transportProtocol": "raw_buffer"
                },

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

% curl -H "Host:httpbin.org" http://a816bb2638a5e4a8c990ce790b47d429-1565783620.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/get

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "Cloud computing is utility-style computing with a business model similar to what is provided by businesses selling utilities such as LPG and electricity to our homes"
