Maistra Istio
Admiral
- istio-ecosystem/admiral Admiral provides automatic configuration and service discovery for multicluster Istio service mesh. Istio has a very robust set of multi-cluster capabilities. Managing this configuration across multiple clusters at scale is challenging. Admiral takes an opinionated view on this configuration and provides automatic provisioning and syncing across clusters. This removes the complexity for developers and mesh operators.

Istio Tools
- Application Gateway for Containers: Istio Integration 🌟 - This post explores the integration of Azure Application Gateway for Containers (AGC) with Istio, a Kubernetes service mesh. It details how AGC can leverage Istio to provide end-to-end TLS encryption for traffic between AGC and application pods, even if the applications themselves do not natively support TLS. This is part of a series on AGC, focusing on security aspects and simplified TLS implementation.
-
Implementing Istio From Start To Finish 🌟 - A comprehensive guide on implementing Istio as a Service Mesh in a Kubernetes environment, covering installation methods (Helm), enabling mTLS, and ensuring sidecar injection into pods. It highlights the common reasons for adopting a service mesh, such as encryption, traffic visibility, and network resilience.
