Using a service mesh is radically different
• Abstracts away details of service-to-service communications
• Consistent policy, load balancing, encryption, authentication, traffic steering
across services
• Easy way to connect, manage and secure microservices without changes in
the service code
• Easier IT-Ops with better observability, monitoring of traffic between
microservices
• Kubernetes orchestrates containers, Istio orchestrates communication
between services.
Biggest Impact: Changing the way we think about
application/service development
Bring application development becomes
assembly of ready-made, highly-scalable,
proven services running anywhere from the
edge to the cloud.
