Build distributed applications easily by writing decoupled services with Istio Service Mesh. This book starts by gauging the importance of a service mesh in Kubernetes and moves on to get a closer look at Istio's architecture and its features. To get your Istio environment up and running, you will go through its setup and learn the concepts of control plane and data plane. Using the Istio Gateway you will see how to route traffic using connection pools and also use the concept of Blue-Green deployments for your services. You will then work with Grafana and Prometheus to visualize and query your metrics. Moving on, you will look at how log monitoring and request tracing works in Istio. Finally, you fine tune your application’s security by controlling access to a service using simple denials with black/white listing. Developers and project managers trying to run their application using Kubernetes. All examples will be covered by using Java or Python. Though the book provides a short primer on Kubernetes, readers are expected to have a basic understanding of Kubernetes and containers. weiterlesen
