Istio
The Istio service mesh extends your container platform (Kubernetes, OpenShift) with essential networking functions for distributed systems. The tool is a open-source project mainly developed and designed by Google, IBM and Lyft. Istio sits on top of your container platform and takes over the key tasks of traffic management, network security, policy enforcement and telemetry collection. Istio’s features make it possible to visualize all traffic in your container platform, restrict traffic with custom rules, encrypt all traffic within the container platform, and control traffic in such a way that new versions of a container application can be rolled out quickly and securely in a production environment.
