Description of Istio

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.

Best tool to get Ingress and Egression with full control

We are using istios as an ingress for our app which handles incoming requests from mobile devices via NATS protocol (using nodejs client). This integration has been very beneficial since we have almost complete transparency over whats happening in production environment including logs etc., Its open source so there's no worries about any cost issues either! The only thing i dislike here was when my team migrated some applications form one server into another its took lota resources but still…

Pros
  • Easy to install
  • Open Source
  • Very easy way is provided through documentation, tutorials & articles.
  • It provides great insight with all metrics available at single click
Cons
  • Not bad

Highly recommend for microservices architecture!!

The ability for all microservices in our ecosystem (that are not internal) have access into each other via mesh networks without having any knowledge about networking protocols is amazing! Nothing as such so far - just try using different configurations when compared side by edge vs central deployment models, which could be frustrating at first but once one goes through this initial learning stage then things would get much better over here!! Highly recommend if anyone working within an…

Pros
  • It makes managing traffic between services easier than ever before; it provides observability across multi vendor environments like ours that include lots of external providers making management super simple with single point control.
  • This platform lets you achieve end to end network visibility throughout your entire service infrastructure including hybrid cloud deployments alongwith centralized policy administration &
Cons
  • Minor Issues

So far, I am really enjoying working with Envoy Proxy

The ability for us as developers who are not networking experts is very simple! You create an envoy file in YAML format which describes how connections should be routed through our system (think IP addresses). This allows me at least some degree of confidence when deploying new code changes because we know exactly what will happen from one change point until another without having full visibility into all details regarding where packets actually go within my infrastructure stack - this was…

Pros
  • The ability to use yaml files to describe how services should be routed through my infrastructure this is very helpful for developers who are not networking experts and want to deploy changes without having to worry about the networking details
Cons
  • The documentation is not very easy to read and the ability to debug issues is not great
