About Istio

Connect, secure, control, and observe services. Istio’s traffic routing rules let you easily control the flow of traffic and API calls between services. Istio simplifies configuration of service-level properties like circuit breakers, timeouts, and retries, and makes it easy to set up important tasks like A/B testing, canary rollouts, and staged rollouts with percentage-based traffic splits. It also provides out-of-box failure recovery features that help make your application more robust against failures of dependent services or the network. Istio Security provides a comprehensive security solution to solve these issues. This page gives an overview on how you can use Istio security features to secure your services, wherever you run them. In particular, Istio security mitigates both insider and external threats against your data, endpoints, communication, and platform. Istio generates detailed telemetry for all service communications within a mesh.

    "What a fexible beast !"

    Posted 2022-02-16

    Pros: Very flexible ingress controller, egress management, and service mesh.
    Can do anything other services mesh can do.
    Can do mTLS everywhere (service mesh, ingress and even egress).
    Sidecar model ensures that connection from pods on same node is also secured.
    Excellent integration in Kubernetes and compatibility with other components.
    Kiali rocks to visualize flows.
    Open, free and permissive Apache license.

    Cons: Finding the proper configuration for a purpose is not always easy.

    Overall: Istio seems to be the right choice for mTLS everywhere, it's free, open-source with permissive license, and can achieve what other service mesh and ingres controllers seem not able to offer ( such as mTLS everywhere - including egress).
