- 21. Istio User Group SINGAPORE Slicing the Layers ● Ambient approach splits Istio’s functionality in two distinct layers ● Adopt Istio in a more incremental approach: no mesh -> to secure overly -> to full L7 processing (on a per namespace basics if needed) Secure Overlay Layer L7 processing Layer All features of Secure Overlay PLUS … ● Traffic Mgmt: HTTP routing & load balancing, circuit breaking, rate limiting, fault injection, retry, timeout, etc … ● Security: Rich authorization policies ● Observability: HTTP metrics, Access Logging and Tracing Streamlined, low resource, high performance with zero trust ● Traffic Management: TCP Routing ● Security: mTLS tunneling, Simple authorization policies ● Observability: TCP metrics & logging

- 25. Istio User Group SINGAPORE Ztunnel (DaemonSet) ● running as daemonset is intentional ● responsible for redirecting application traffic to the zero-trust tunnel (ztunnel) on that node ○ option 1 - iptables and Geneve overlay tunnels to achieve the traffic redirection ○ option 2 - e-BPF based method of traffic redirection
- 26. Istio User Group SINGAPORE Istio-cni-node (DaemonSet) ● running as daemonset is intentional ○ each istio-cni plug-in pod checks all pods co-located on the same node to see if they are part of the ambient mesh ● responsible for redirecting application traffic to the zero-trust tunnel (ztunnel) on that node ○ option 1 - iptables and Geneve overlay tunnels to achieve the traffic redirection ○ option 2 - e-BPF based method of traffic redirection
