Istio Service Mesh
Introduction
Pre requisites
To fully benefit from this article, you should have a good grasp of Kubernetes fundamentals. This includes the ability to deploy a basic Kubernetes cluster and an understanding of its core components—namely Pods, ReplicaSets, Deployments, and Services.
If you're new to Kubernetes, we highly recommend starting with our Kubernetes for Beginners course to build a solid foundation.
Quick Recap
While this article will briefly summarize key concepts such as Kubernetes services, sidecars, and the Envoy proxy relevant to Service Meshes and Istio, a basic familiarity with these topics will help you follow along more easily.
It's also important to note that you don't need to set up your own Kubernetes cluster to follow the demonstrations provided in this article—a lab environment is available for those who prefer a hands-on approach. However, if you're interested in establishing a local setup, additional demonstrations are available to guide you through the process.
