about the book

Istio in Action is a comprehensive guide to handling authentication, routing, retrying, load balancing, collecting data, security, and other common network-related tasks using the Istio service mesh platform. With author Christian Posta’s expert guidance, you’ll experiment with a basic service mesh as you explore the features of Envoy, Istio’s service proxy. With helpful diagrams and hands-on examples, you’ll learn how to use this open-source service mesh to control routing, secure container applications, and monitor network traffic. You’ll also bring Istio to legacy systems without changes to your applications and discover how to use Istio in a multi-cloud world with the data layer deployed on a cluster like Kubernetes.
