Key benefits

  • Learn the design, implementation, and troubleshooting of Istio in a clear and concise format
  • Grasp concepts, ideas, and solutions that can be readily applied in real work environments
  • See Istio in action through examples that cover Terraform, GitOps, AWS, Kubernetes, and Go

Description

Istio is a game-changer in managing connectivity and operational efficiency of microservices, but implementing and using it in applications can be challenging. This book will help you overcome these challenges and gain insights into Istio's features and functionality layer by layer with the help of easy-to-follow examples. It will let you focus on implementing and deploying Istio on the cloud and in production environments instead of dealing with the complexity of demo apps.  You'll learn the installation, architecture, and components of Istio Service Mesh, perform multi-cluster installation, and integrate legacy workloads deployed on virtual machines. As you advance, you'll understand how to secure microservices from threats, perform multi-cluster deployments on Kubernetes, use load balancing, monitor application traffic, implement service discovery and management, and much more. You’ll also explore other Service Mesh technologies such as Linkerd, Consul, Kuma, and Gloo Mesh. In addition to observing and operating Istio using Kiali, Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger, you'll perform zero-trust security and reliable communication between distributed applications. After reading this book, you'll be equipped with the practical knowledge and skills needed to use and operate Istio effectively.

Who is this book for?

The book is for DevOps engineers, SREs, cloud and software developers, sysadmins, and architects who have been using microservices in Kubernetes-based environments. It addresses challenges in application networking during microservice communications. Working experience on Kubernetes, along with knowledge of DevOps, application networking, security, and programming languages like Golang, will assist with understanding the concepts covered.

What you will learn

  • Get an overview of Service Mesh and the problems it solves
  • Become well-versed with the fundamentals of Istio, its architecture, installation, and deployment
  • Extend the Istio data plane using WebAssembly (Wasm) and learn why Envoy is used as a data plane
  • Understand how to use OPA Gatekeeper to automate Istio's best practices
  • Manage communication between microservices using Istio
  • Explore different ways to secure the communication between microservices
  • Get insights into traffic flow in the Service Mesh
  • Learn best practices to deploy and operate Istio in production environments

I've read two books on Istio and have been using Service Mesh the last two years. This book really conceptualize the inception of architecture along with building blocks of istio with helpful resources and demos included. I was able to review this pre-release and was ecstatic to finish this book. Highly recommend.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
